§ MR. HAVELOCK WILSONTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how many seamen are reported to have failed to join British foreign-going ships in the United Kingdom from 1st July to 30th September last, distinguishing the number for each port and their ratings; and how many continuous discharge books were suspended during that period.
(Answered by Mr. Churchill.) It will take some little time to obtain the information asked for in the Question, but it shall be obtained and communicated to my hon. friend with as little delay as possible.
