Mr. EDMUND HARVEYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether in view of the increase of loss of life at sea during recent years, he will take steps, either by the appointment of a Departmental Committee of inquiry or otherwise, to raise the load line or make such further Regulations as may diminish preventable loss of life at sea?
