HC Deb 23 July 1914 vol 65 c628
40. Mr. FALLE

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if he can give any details of the drowning of the three sailors of His Majesty's ship "Blenheim"; if these men died on duty; and if their widows and children will receive the usual pension, and at what date?

Mr. LAMBERT

The accident occurred when a boat belonging to His Majesty's ship "Savage" was manned preparatory to being lowered. The men were on duty at the time. One of the men only has left a widow. The usual pension will be granted on the receipt of replies to inquiries which have been addressed to her.
