§ MR. HAVELOCK WILSONI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a meeting of Royal Naval Reserve seamen was held at Barry Dock on Monday last; whether he is aware that such seamen complained that they were unable to obtain employment on British ships because they were Britishers; and whether Her Majesty's Government proposes to provide any remedy for such a state of things?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADEI only last night received from the honourable Member himself a copy of the resolution adopted at the meeting referred to in the Question. The subject shall receive careful consideration and a reply to the memorialists shall be communicated to the honourable Member in due course.
