§ 11. Mr. MIDDLEMOREasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can see his way to issue a weekly Return of the British merchant and fishing vessels lost by hostile action, similar to the Returns which were issued up to October, 1915?
Mr. BALFOURI have consulted the President of the Board of Trade, who agrees with me in thinking that it would not be in the public interest to adopt the suggestion made by my hon. Friend. Statements of losses are published in the newspapers as they occur.
