HC Deb 14 May 1912 vol 38 cc976-7
Mr. WHITEHOUSE

asked whether any Member of the Government has joined the committee to supervise the disposal of the "Titanic" relief fund?

The PRIME MINISTER

As far as I am aware, the answer is in the negative.

Mr. WHITEHOUSE

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider whether it is desirable, by legislation or otherwise, to take steps to secure adequate supervision and control over funds raised by public subscription on occasions of great disasters?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am not aware of the existence of dangers or abuses which render such a change in law and practice desirable.
