§ MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN (Kent, Faversham)asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether, as the statute governing the serving out of lime juice to the crews of merchant vessels only applies to vessels navigating between the United Kingdom and any port out of the same, he will take steps to amend the Act so as to include every voyage taken by such vessels?
§ THE PRESIDENT (Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH) (Bristol, W.)I am not prepared to propose an alteration in the law in the sense the hon. Member suggests; because I think it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to carry such a proposal into effect.
