HC Deb 17 June 1890 vol 345 c1148
MR. WIGGIN (Staffordshire, Handsworth)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if the Committee who were appointed to investigate the subject of colour blindness amongst our Mercantile Marine have yet reported; and, if not, when they will be likely to do so; and if he could briefly state the mode adopted for testing?

SIR M. HICKS BEACH

I conclude that the hon. Member refers to the Committee of the Royal Society, which is investigating this subject. The Committee was only appointed in March, and I have not yet heard when it is likely to make its Report.
