Mr. CATHCART WASONI beg to ask the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty a question of which I have given private notice, namely, whether he has received any account of the explosion at Lerwick, and the lamentable loss of life which is reported?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)I have seen a newspaper statement. Beyond that I have no information, but I will at once inquire.
§ Dr. MACNAMARAYes.
