HC Deb 09 July 1914 vol 64 cc1231-2
67. Major ARCHER-SHEE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can furnish a record of cases which have been reported to the Board of Trade of structural or other damage due to the carriage of deck-loads of all descriptions from ports in the United Kingdom during the last twelve months?

Mr. BURNS

A statement giving the information desired by the hon. and gallant Member, so far as it is available, will be prepared and forwarded to him, but the preparation of the statement involves considerable labour, and will take some time.

Mr. JOWETT

Will the right hon. Gentleman give other Members of the House copies of the same information?

Mr. BURNS

That information is accessible to all inquirers.
