HC Deb 22 April 1915 vol 71 c384
19. Mr. CATHCART WASON

asked if as great consideration will be shown to those who suffered by the explosion at Lerwick as was given to Scarborough?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Inquiry into the causes of the explosion at Lerwick is still proceeding, and the question of granting compensation will receive careful consideration; but, in regard to this, I would point out to my hon. Friend that the circumstances are entirely different from those at Scarborough.
