§ Major GRAHAM POLEasked the Secretary of State for India whether any action has been taken to carry out the recommendations of the Indian mercantile marine committee that steamship companies plying along the coasts of India should give facilities for Indian boys to be apprenticed?
§ Mr. BENNI am able to inform my hon. and gallant Friend that 11 steamship companies have undertaken to give such facilities. Many if not all of these companies have ships plying along the coasts of India.
