§ Sir BURTON CHADWICKasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the circulars being issued by the Navigators and General Insurance Company, Limited, having its registered office at Finsbury Court, Finsbury Pavement, London, E.C.2, who, it is understood, offer in return for a premium of 12s. 6d. to pay £1,000 to navigating officers of the Mercantile Marine in the event of their certificates being cancelled as the result of a Board of Trade inquiry; and whether, in view of the obvious danger of the misuse of such an insurance, he can take such steps as will make such a policy invalid?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONThe attention of the Board of Trade was called to this form of insurance, and it was carefully considered. The conclusion arrived at was that it was not necessary for the Department to take any special action in the matter.
