Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to what extent regulations governing coastal traffic in Great Britain apply also to this class of work in Singapore and Malaya; and if he will take steps to bring about a uniformity particularly with regard to those regulations which closely affect the life and health of seamen.
§ Mr. LytteltonUnited Kingdom legislation in these subjects is normally brought to the notice of the Governments of Singapore and of the Federation of Malaya.
