HC Deb 24 March 1899 vol 69 cc321-2
COLONEL DENNY (Kilmarnock Burghs)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether, seeing that there are employed in the Mercantile Marine of Great Britain and India at the present moment many thousands of lascars, will he state whether any complaint or representation has been received from them as to insufficiency of accommodation provided for them on board ship?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE

So far as I am aware no representations have been received on behalf of the lascars themselves.
