§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that, according to the estimate of the secretary of the Oilseed Supply Committee, 42,657 tons of copra, oilseed, and kernels have been conveyed to Hull by railway wagons since the Armistice; why arrangements cannot be made to ship the Australasian portion of these cargoes direct to Hull in the monthly Commonwealth steamer to that port; and, if not, whether, in view of wagon shortage, other means of direct shipment can be arranged?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI am making inquiries into this matter, and will consider what action can be taken to improve the present arrangements for dealing with these cargoes.
