§ 48. Sir JOHN SPEARasked the Prime Minister if, having regard to the many accidents to shipping and loss of life recently experienced in consequence of collision during fogs, he will appoint an expert Committee to consider what regulations can be devised calculated to lessen such accidents?
The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Robertson)My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. I shall be glad to consider any proposals or suggestions which the hon. Member may wish to make with a view to preventing collisions in fog, but I am inclined to doubt whether any useful purpose would be served by appointing an expert Committee on this subject at the present moment.
§ Mr. CROOKSHas the hon. Gentleman's Department considered the Kelmaye system?
