§ Sir WILLIAM BULLasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether his atten- 1473W tion has been drawn to a statement made by Mr. Francis Boydell, on 2nd March last, to the effect that when he called at Trinity House on behalf of a Yorkshire manufacturer on 28th February last to see the pattern of a scourer he found the sealed pattern was an article of German manufacture; and whether, if Mr. Boydell's statement is correct, standard patterns of scourers of British make will be substituted for the article made in Germany?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe Corporation of the Trinity House is not under the control of the Admiralty, and I would suggest that the hon. Member should apply to the secretary of the Trinity House for the information he desires.
