HC Deb 30 March 1908 vol 187 c64
Mr. HAVELOCK WILSON (Middlesbrough)

To ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he has received any report with regard to the allegations made by the sailors and firemen on the steamer "Baltic Exchange," that this vessel was overladen on the voyage from Emsenade to Las Palmas and Las Palmas to England; and what action, if any, has been taken.

(Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) Inquiries have been made into these allegations at Antwerp and at Cardiff, and they do not appear to be well founded.
