Mr. HAVELOCK WILSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the number of seamen who failed to join British foreign-going ships in the United Kingdom, and the number of continuous discharge books suspended, during the quarters ended 30th June, 1908, and 30th June, 1909, respectively?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am making inquiries, and hope to be able to furnish the hon. Member with the information desired in the course of a few days.
