§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the President of the Board of Trade (1) if he will consider the advisability of requiring motor boats, burning petrol, carrying 12 passengers or under to have a Board of Trade licence;
(2) if he will consider the advisability of imposing a speed limit for speed boats except in restricted areas, in view of the damage likely to be cause to harbours, estuaries, rivers, and parts of the coast where there are floating balks or drift or such other nets?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERAs at present advised, I doubt whether there is sufficient ground for the alterations of the law suggested by my hon. Friend, but if he will furnish me in greater detail with his reasons for thinking these changes necessary, I will consider them.
