HC Deb 30 June 1896 vol 42 cc393-4
COLONEL DENNY () Kilmarnock Burghs

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade, whether there is a system of free insurance, the benefits of which are extended to seamen while serving in Shipping Federation vessels, and from which the relatives of victims of maritime catastrophes would be assured of compensation, independently of any compassionate fund?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. C. T. RITCHIE,) Croydon

I have not the information necessary to enable me to answer the Question of my hon. and gallant Friend, but I shall be happy to communicate with the Shipping Federation and to state the result, if the question be repeated.
