HC Deb 21 July 1915 vol 73 c1470
4. Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many neutral ships have been destroyed by German warships and German mines up to the nearest date for which the information is available; and whether he has similar information in regard to Austria and Turkish action under its present German directions?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The number of neutral ships reported to have been destroyed by German warships and German mines up to 20th July, 1915, is ninety-five. I have no information in regard to the second part of the question.

Mr. KELLAWAY

Can the right hon. Gentleman also give the number of neutrals who have lost their lives in that connection?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I should like notice of that.

Mr. KING

Is the German Government giving compensation in all these cases?
