HC Deb 07 December 1955 vol 547 c72W
103. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will introduce amending legislation to increase the maximum fine payable for overloading ships above the load-line marks in order to prevent a profit being made in this way at the expense of safety of life at sea.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I will bear the hon. Member's suggestion in mind.
