HC Deb 05 May 1904 vol 134 c521
MR. SOARES (Devonshire, Barnstaple)

To ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the Report of Captain Frederick as to the number of lives which might have been saved if there had been a harbour of refuge on the coasts of North Devon or Cornwall.

(Answered by Mr. Gerald Balfour.) It is not usual to publish Departmental memoranda supplied to a Minister, but as the hon. Member desires it, I shall on this occasion be happy to lay upon the Table a note furnished to me by Captain Frederick which bears upon the point referred to in the Question.
