§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that a sworn declaration, made by Patrick Gallivan as to the circumstances in which the "Forest Hall" was saved from being wrecked on 20th April in the Kenmare River, had been submitted to him, that the captain of the vessel asked Patrick Gallivan to convey her to a safe harbour as she was then in distress and drifting close to Moylaun Island, and that 59 Patrick Gallivan is precluded by his position in life from embarking on costly proceedings in a court of law to obtain salvage, he will take the necessary steps to secure that adequate compensation is given to Patrick Gallivan by the owners of the "Forest Hall."
§ MR LLOYD-GEORGEAs I informed my hon. friend in reply to a Question on the 7th June last, this matter is not one in regard to which the Board of Trade have any power to intervene.
