§ MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that vessels sailing to Workington recently have been put ashore owing to their bounds being limited, through the non-clearing of the river, he will state what steps, if any, will be taken to secure the safety of vessels in future.
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI have no information as to the present condition of the entrance to the port of Workington. The matter is one for the harbour authority to deal with, and I will call their attention to the statements contained in the hon. Member's Question.
