Lord Chaworth (E. Meath) To ask Her Majesty's Government whether their attention has been called to the following remarks made by Admiral His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh at the annual meeting of "Missions to Seamen Society, held at the Mansion House on 28th April :-
The report also complains that in some ports abroad, and in Crown Colonies, especially Hong Kong and Singapore, the crews are compelled to do unnecessary work in transhipping cargoes on Sundays, which causes much discontent and discomfort to the men, and puts a stop to all religious observances, whereas in the Australian and self-governing Colonies such unnecessary working of cargoes is rigidly forbidden.
"I understand that the Secretary of State for the Colonies has called the attention of some Colonial Governors to this grievance of seamen :
And, whether the practice complained of has been prohibited, so that seamen may enjoy their Sunday rest in port in common with other of Her Majesty's subjects:
