Mr. T. MORRISasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the desirability of making boat drills on all ships at sea compulsory for the passengers and not, as at present, left to their own inclination as to whether they attend or not?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe great majority of passengers in their own interests attend the musters held for their benefit, and I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by attempts to apply compulsion.
