Mr. Hefferasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the British ship "Enugu Palm" was overloaded with personnel when it recently carried Nigerian Federal troops from Lagos to Port Harcourt; and what action he proposes to take in this matter in pursuance of his powers under the Merchant Shipping Acts.
