HC Deb 07 May 1913 vol 52 cc2067-8W
Sir GEORGE YOUNGER

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in the event of a master's certificate being suspended by any Colonial Court pending the decision of the Board of Trade, and the Board returning the certificate and annulling the Colonial Court's decision, the master is entitled to resume his command?

Mr. BUXTON

If a master's certificate is suspended by a Colonial Court and is returned by the Board of Trade under the powers entrusted to them by Section 474 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, the master is qualified to command any vessel in respect of which his certificate entitles him to act as master.
