§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsI beg to move Amendment No. 44, in page 30, line 11 leave out from 'shall' to end of line 19 and insert:
'make a copy of the report available—
- (a) if the deceased person was employed in the ship and a person was named as his next of kin in the crew agreement or list of the crew in which the deceased person's name last appeared, to the person so named;
- (b) in any case, to any person requesting it who appears to the Board of Trade to be interested.'
§ This Amendment meets points that were raised in Committee.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinI am sorry that my hon. Friend the Member for Harrow, West (Mr. John Page) was unable to stay, since it was he who raised this point in Committee. On his behalf I wish to express the gratitude of the Opposition on this Amendment put down by the Government which considerably improves the Clause.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsI join with the hon. Gentleman in referring to his hon. Friend's initiative in this matter.
§ Amendment agreed to.
