§ Mr. BOTTOMLEYasked whether, in view of the statement made in the course of the-inquiry into the loss of the vessel "Thistlemoor," that it is no part of the duty of a Coastguard to watch for ships, the right hon. Gentleman will consider the desirableness of instituting a national service of coast-watchers?
§ Mr. McKENNAIf my hon. Friend will refer to the question put by my hon. Friend the Member for North Somerset to my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, on Monday last, he will see that the arrangements for watching the coasts of the United Kingdom for wrecks are within the province of my right, hon. Friend, who, as his reply shows, is giving the matter the most careful attention.
