HC Deb 08 May 1916 vol 82 c287
17. Mr. HOGGE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is now in a position to report on the explosion on His Majesty's ship "Natal"?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by a public statement.

Mr. HOGGE

Has not the inquiry been concluded?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Oh, yes!
