§ 60. Sir J. POWERasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the following ships, namely, s.s. "Theophile Gautier," s.s. "Asia," and s.s. "Stella D'Italia," engaged by the Hellenic Travellers' Club for its Mediterranean cruises, are on the British register; if not, can he state their respective nationalities; whether any of these ships have British passenger certificates; and whether they are required to comply with British safety regulations?
§ Mr. H. WILLIAMSThe first vessel is French, the second is either French or Italian, and the third is Italian. They are not subject to British regulations and do not hold British certificates.
§ Sir J. POWERCan the hon. Member say whether this is an ordinary tourist agency, or if a bonâ-fide club. Can he say whose identity the title conceals?
§ Mr. WILLIAMSI am afraid that I am not in a position to answer that question.
