66. Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider an amendment in the uniform regulations for mercantile marine officers so that when in full-dress uniform they may have the right of wearing a sword?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Burton Chadwick)

If my hon. Friend will be good enough to send me his reasons for suggesting this change, I will consider them, but, as at persent advised, I doubt whether the alteration is one which should he made.
