Mr. Sydney Buxton, President of tho Board of Trade, speaking in tho House of Commons, said tho rules regarding lifesaving appliances on board British ships had not been revised since 1894. The Board of Trade in 1911 had asked for an advisory committee representing tho merchant shipping to report on the matter. It had never been the Board of Trado's policy that vessels with well-equipped watertight compartments should necessarily carry lifeboats to accommodate all passengers. Tho Titanic, said Mr. Buxton, carried boats for 1178 people. There were 48 lifeboats and 35G0 lifebelts. She was certified to carry 3500 passengers and crew, and actually carried 2208. He suggested that an inquiry should be held as to whether vessels could bo forbidden talcing the Northern Atlantic route in the spring, and if there was no power to stop ocean racing.

Tho Board of Trade required sixteen, but twenty were supplied.
