§ Mr. CARR-GOMMasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the inquest held at the Southwark Coroner's Court, on 26th October, upon the body of Albert Giusti, a labourer, who was killed by being crushed in a goods lift at St. Kathcrinc's Dock tea warehouse; whether he is aware that it was stated in the evidence that only qualified men are allowed by the Port of 1474W London Authority to use this lift, and that a notice to this effect was posted up near the lift, but that the deceased was unable to read English; and whether he will cause some inquiries to be made as to the capabilities of some of the men now employed by the Authority in place of the old permanent men?
Mr. BUXTONThe capabilities of the men employed by the Port of London Authority are not a matter in regard to which the Board of Trade have any powers, but I have sent a copy of my hon. Friend's question to the Port of London Authority for their observations, and will let him know their reply.
