§ COLONEL DENNY (Kilmarnock Burghs)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade, whether he intends to take any action, as recommended by the Manning Committee, in relation to granting licences for supplying seamen through any qualified association and corporations whose members are individually entitled to engage seamen?
§ MR. RITCHIEI have not had an opportunity of adequately studying the recommendation of the Manning Committee, but, as regards such of those recommendations as need legislation, I regret not to be in a position to hold out any hope of being able to deal with them at present.
