HC Deb 17 February 1916 vol 80 c210
4. Mr. GINNELL

asked whether the full text of the two messages sent by the Admiralty to the "Lusitania" when that vessel was on its last voyage has been communicated to the Government of the United States; and, if not, why, seeing that there were citizens of the United States on board that vessel?

Dr. MACNAMARA

No such communication was made to the Government of the United States, and it is not seen what useful purpose would be served by such a communication.
