14. Mr. FRANK OWENasked the President of the Board of Trade whether any rules or orders have been laid down by the Department on the use of pulverising fuel plant at sea, or whether any are considered advisable in the experience of the surveyors of the mercantile branch?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMNo special regulations have been issued by the Board of Trade with regard to the use of pulverising plant at sea, and I am advised that it is unnecessary at present to issue special regulations. Under existing regulations it is possible for the surveyors to deal with each case on its merits.
Mr. OWENCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether a committee has been set up to go into this question of the use of pulverising fuel plant at sea?
§ Mr. GRAHAMI cannot say off-hand, but I will inquire and inform my hon. Friend.
