MR. DAVID MACIVER (Liverpool, Kirkdale)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the use of Belleville boilers has in this country been entirely discarded in the steamers of the mercantile marine; and, if not, can he give the names of any British trading steamers which are so fitted.

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. JESSE COLLINGS,) (for Mr. RITCHIE) Birmingham, Bordesley

The Board of Trade are not aware of any vessel in the British mercantile marine that is fitted with Belleville boilers.
