§ 8. Captain Viscount CURZONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the loss of the s. s. "Clan Macmillan"; whether it is intended to hold an inquiry; if so, whether at the port of sailing, or in India, with special reference as to the adequacy or otherwise of all the life-saving fittings and equipment on board; and whether he will undertake that the proceedings of any inquiry will be available to any Member desiring to study them?
Mr. WEBBMy attention has been drawn to the case of the "Clan Macmillan," but it is too early yet to say whether an inquiry will be held by the authorities in India or whether it will be necessary to hold one here. If an inquiry is held, all the circumstances relevant to the casualty will be gone into, and the Report of the Court will be published.
