HC Deb 24 May 1927 vol 206 c1807
5. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is now in a position to say whether further legal proceedings are to be taken against the owner of the steamship "Eastway" under the Merchant Shipping Act, in view of the Court's finding at Cardiff attributing blameworthy and culpable conduct to the owner for the loss of the vessel?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I am not yet in a position to say whether further legal proceedings will be taken.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Will the right hon. Gentleman be kind enough to let me know when he will be able to give an answer to these questions?
