HC Deb 25 June 1917 vol 95 cc52-3W
Colonel Lord HENRY CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the overcrowding of the steamship "Kangola," which left Malta for Bombay with 125 natives on board, in addition to the ship's normal native crew; and whether he will take steps to prevent the occurrence of further overerowding?

Mr. ROBERTS

The attention of the Board of Trade has not been drawn to the case referred to in the question, but inquiries are being made, and I will inform the Noble Lord of the result.
