§ 23. Mr. RANKINasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the prejudicial effect of the intervention of foreign vessels, particularly motor vessels, in the home-coasting trade; and whether he proposes to consider remedial measures?
§ Dr. BURGINTills matter has received very full consideration, but I do not think that it would be to the advantage of British shipping as a whole to take the remedial measures which have been suggested.
