§ SIR F. BANBURY (City of London)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state when the inquiry on the loss of the "Oxus" will terminate; and what the cost of the inquiry has been.
§ MR. CHURCHILLI understand that a number of witnesses from the "Oxus" have yet to be examined, and that consequently the inquiry will not terminate for several days. The approximate cost of the inquiry to 31st October is estimated at £535.
