§ MR. H. C. F. LUTTRELL (Devon,Tavistock)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the Board 1239 of Trade will allow the life-saving apparatus to be issued to those coastguard stations which are at present unprovided with this apparatus?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. BRYCE,) Aberdeen, S.Life-saving apparatus has been supplied to all coastguard stations where the Board of Trade are advised that it is likely to be required for the purpose of saving life. I cannot undertake to provide it at other places without previous consideration of the special circumstances; but if my hon. Friend is of opinion that any portion of the coast specially known to him is insufficiently provided, and will communicate with me, I will have the matter carefully looked into.
§ MR. LUTTRELLI beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty would be willing to accept from the Board of Trade the life-saving apparatus at those coastguard stations which are at present unprovided with the apparatus?
§ THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. E. ROBERTSON,) DundeeNo objection would be raised by the Admiralty if the Board of Trade consider that life-saving apparatus should be placed at any coastguard station not already supplied with the apparatus.
