§ Sir A. SINCLAIRasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a number of officials employed as coastguards experience great difficulty in obtaining suitable accommodation at the stations to which they are assigned; and whether he will consider such an alteration of their terms of engagement as will ensure that they are properly housed whilst they are in the public service?
Mr. W. R. SMITHAll members of the Coastguard Service except inspectors of coastguard are already provided with official quarters as part of their conditions of service, and no alteration of their terms of engagement is therefore needed to secure housing for them.
