HC Deb 01 May 1934 vol 289 c136
34. Rear-Admiral Sir MURRAY SUETER

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether early action will be taken to standardise the method of delivery of sand ballast, as the need of the trade for some standard is now acute?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

This matter is under active consideration but I regret that I cannot yet say when it will be possible to introduce legislation on the subject.
