§ 57. Mr. DAYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the inconvenience experienced during rough weather by passengers on the steamship "Queen Mary," many of whom have suffered injuries on account of the fact that the chairs and large furniture in the public rooms, and beds and trunks in the state rooms, cannot be made fast to the floor or walls, he will make representations to the Cunard White Star Company so that in future additional pro- 1020 tection should be afforded to the travelling public by making this provision; and will he state whether the present methods for making fast heavy furniture and trunks on this ship in rough weather comply with and satisfy the requirements of the Board of Trade?
§ Dr. BURGINThere are no Board of Trade requirements in matters of this kind. I understand that the owners are taking steps to ensure that the difficulties encountered during the recent rough weather shall not recur.
