§ Mr. RENWICKasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he could state in whose possession the confidential drawings or plans of H.M.S. "Indomitable" were at the time of their disappearance; and whether any other drawings or plans have similarly disappeared during the last two years?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. McKenna)It would not be in the public interest to give details of the circumstances of the loss of the drawings referred to. I am unable to trace any similar disappearance of drawings or plans during the last two years.
§ Mr. RENWICKAre better precautions now taken?
§ Mr. McKENNAIt is not exactly a case of better precautions being taken. I cannot for the reason I have given explain the circumstances, but I think the hon. Member will agree that every precaution was taken at the time.
