§ MR. FORWOODI bog to ask the Under Secretary of State for India have the Indian Government suspended the operation of their recent Orders as to the load line of vessels sailing from India; and will ample notice be given to ship-owners in this country of any intention to put the Order in force, and an opportunity afforded to them to state their objections to the proposals?
* MR. GEORGE RUSSELL(1) The operation of the Indian Load Line Rules is temporarily suspended while the Rules are being revised. (2) A draft of the new 1669 Rules will be published at the principal Indian ports, and in The Board of Trade Journal. Shipowners in this country will thus have an opportunity of making any representations which they may think necessary to the Government of India.
