HC Deb 09 August 1901 vol 99 c282
MR. GEORGE KENYON (Denbigh)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he has received any official intimation of the fatal accident to the "Queen Bee" at Aberystwith, and if he will give the latest information to the House, whether he can say when this boat was last officially inspected, and whether, having reference to the accidents occurring to pleasure boats at this season, he can suggest any better system of inspection and registration than that which is now in force.

*MR. WALTER LONG

My right hon. friend has asked me to reply to this question. I have not received any official information as to the accident referred to, but I am in communication with the local authority on the subject. I have under consideration proposals for the amendment of the law relating to the registration and licensing of pleasure boats.
