NICHOLLasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that there is unrest at Cardiff and Bristol Channel shipping circles owing to the number of Chinese seamen being engaged to the exclusion of British seamen; and if he will take immediate steps to repatriate these Chinese and give preference of employment to those British seamen who have been demobilised and want employment?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANNo reports have reached the Board of Trade with regard to the unrest referred to in the question, but I am making inquiries into the matter and will communicate the result to my hon. Friend as soon as practicable.
