HC Deb 02 May 1889 vol 335 c982
MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he would lay upon the Table of the House a memorandum showing in detail the calculation by which the net register of the S.S. Anglesey was brought down to the figure of only 45 tons, by deductions and allowances from her gross measurement of 827 tons; and similar figures for the Duchess of Sutherland, showing how, with an original gross measurement of 908 tons, and net register of 446 tons, when she was a paddle steamer, her net register is now brought down to only 111 tons since her conversion into a screw steamer?

SIR MICHAEL HICKS BEACH

If the hon. Member will move for the Return, it shall be given.
