HC Deb 23 April 1931 vol 251 cc1157-8
Mr. TOM SMITH

(by Private Notice) asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give any information with regard to the Steamship "Calder" belonging to the Goole Steam Shipping Company, which left Hamburg on Friday, 17th April, for Goole, and has not yet arrived at that port.

Mr. GILLETT

I have no information with regard to the casualty referred to by my hon. Friend beyond what has appeared in the shipping Press. Instruc-

promoted from warrant rank are as follow:

tions were given, yesterday for a preliminary inquiry under Section 465 of the Merchant shipping Act, 1894, to be made forthwith, and I will communicate with my hon. Friend when I am in possession of the results of this inquiry.

Mr. SMITH

Can my hon. Friend say whether this boat was fitted with wireless apparatus?

Mr. GILLETT

No; I am afraid I cannot.
