§ Mr. CARLILE (for Mr. Fell)asked when the inquiry into the circumstance of the loss of submarine C 11 will take place; and if it will extend to the responsibility of a vessel cutting or breaking the line of a fleet when in motion?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAA Court of Inquiry was held within a week of the sinking of the submarine by the "Eddystone," and the various questions arising out of the evidence given are under consideration.
§ Mr. CARLILEMay I ask whether the latter part of the question can be replied to?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe inquiry could not go into those questions. The Court of Inquiry would deal exclusively with the conduct of the ship itself, but certainly the Admiralty would undoubtedly take into consideration all the questions affecting the running down. The point I want to make is that the Court of Inquiry could not make that inquiry.
