§ Mr. D. WILLIAMSasked the President of the Board of Trade what is the additional dead-weight tonnage or carrying capacity which will be added to ships of the British Mercantile Marine as a consequence of the new load line recently come into operation?
§ Dr. BURGINI regret that it would be impossible without an altogether undue amount of labour to arrive at a reliable estimate of the increased carrying capacity of the British Mercantile Marine due to the assigning of load lines in accordance with the International Load Line Convention.
