HC Deb 20 July 1910 vol 19 c1229
Lord BALCARRES (for Mr. Lonsdale)

asked whether the First Lord of the Admiralty has received a report upon the explosion which occurred on board the cruiser "Sutlej" on Friday last; and whether he can communicate the facts to the House?

Mr. McKENNA

No report has been received yet beyond the statement of the fact that such an explosion did occur and of the deaths of the two men. The Commander-in-Chief is no doubt holding an inquiry into the circumstances and will report in due course.
