§ MR. CHARLES McARTHURI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he will state when it is proposed to proceed with the Motion standing in the name of the President of the Board of Trade for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire as to the application of British statutory requirements to foreign ships trading to and from ports in the United Kingdom.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI am very anxious that this Committee should be appointed, but, as my hon. friend is aware, no opportunity has presented itself for doing so. I hope some evening I may be able to move the necessary Motion and to set the Committee to work.
