§ MR. HAVELOCK WILSONI beg to ask the President of the Board of 1376 Trade if he is aware that there has been no meeting of the Local Marine Board at the Port of North Shields for two months, and if he will inform the House how often such Boards should meet; and if he will take steps to alter this state of affairs?
§ MR. MUNDELLAI am not aware of the fact stated by the hon. Member, but I shall make inquiries into the matter; and if I find that the existing arrangements are not such as to meet the wants of the port, I shall be prepared to make the necessary representations to the Local Marine Board.
