§ Dr. WATTSasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has received a resolution, adopted by the Council of the Royal Sanitary Institute, based on resolutions passed at a congress of that institution at Liverpool in July, 1924, to the effect that the classification in the Report of Deaths of Seamen, published 1216W by the Board of Trade, is antiquated and should be remodelled; and whether he is taking any steps in respect to this resolution?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERI have received a resolution from the Royal Sanitary Institute and also their detailed suggestions regarding the death statistics of seamen.
