Lieut. - Commander KENW0RTHY

asked the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been drawn to the report of the coroner's inquest into the loss of life occasioned by the wreck of the Liverpool coasting steamer "Sutton" off the Cardiganshire coast on the 4th instant, and to the rider of the Court that the coast was insufficiently watched and that there had been no response to the distress flares sent up from the ship; and what action the Board of Trade propose taking in the interests of safety of life and property at sea?

Sir B. CHADWICK

A formal investigation into the circumstances attending the loss of the s.s. "Sutton" has been ordered, and all the circumstances of the case, including those to which the hon. and gallant Member refers, will then be thoroughly investigated.
