HC Deb 07 March 1939 vol 344 c1894
30. Mr. Benjamin Smith

asked the President of the Board of Trade what arrangements exist for consultation and co-operation between Board of Trade surveyors and the officers of port health authorities?

Mr. Stanley

Following the issue of the current Crew Space Instructions the Board of Trade and the Ministry of Health took steps to secure close co-operation between the Board's surveyors and the officers of port health authorities. The Board's principal officers at the ports have since reported that arrangements for day-to-day co-operation are working satisfactorily.
