HC Deb 10 October 1912 vol 42 cc520-1
60. Mr. COOPER

asked the Prime Minister if he will give further time for the consideration of the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the administration and organisation of the Marine Department of the Board of Trade and to enable the will of the people, as reflected by their chosen representatives, to be ascertained by a Division of the House?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am afraid I cannot give further time for the discussion of this matter.

Mr. COOPER

May I ask if the Government, in coming to this decision, has been directed to the knowledge that the "Titanic" was wrongly constructed?
