§ Mr. WEIRasked the President of the Board of Trade, having regard to the fact that under Canadian law emigrants from this country who develop consumption within two years after arrival in Canada are required to return, is he now in a position to state what precautions have been taken by steamship companies, in vessels sailing from Canadian ports to the United Kingdom, to isolate consumptive 1509 passengers in such a way as to prevent other passengers running the risk of infection?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Churchill)The steamship companies inform me that persons returning from Canada on account of consumption are carefully isolated during the voyage, and kept apart from the other passengers.
