HC Deb 15 February 1915 vol 69 c888
3. Sir JOHN LONSDALE

asked if any decision has been arrived at with regard to the cargo of the steamship "Wilhelmina"?

Mr. PRIMROSE

After considering the special circumstances of this cargo and its destination it was settled to submit the cargo to the decision of the Prize Court, and there is no question of taking proceedings against the vessel itself. There is a report in the Press of possible negotiations for the sale of the cargo to the International Commission for relief of distress in Belgium, and if this is confirmed the decision come to would be reconsidered.
