§ 6. Mr. PRINGLEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the steamship "Uganda," since its transfer to the La Plata Steamship Company, has been requisitioned by the Admiralty; and, if so, for what period?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe steamship "Uganda" has not been engaged as a transport since her transfer to the La Plata Steamship Company. She is now under charter to carry wheat for the Commonwealth Government to the United Kingdom, and has been requisitioned for transport service on the completion of the discharges of her cargo in England.
§ Mr. PRINGLEAre we to take it that this ship which was requisitioned when it was owned by a bonâ-fide British owner has not been requisitioned since it was transferred to the La Plata Company, in which the capital is in American hands?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI do not know. I do not follow my hon. Friend's question.
