HC Deb 19 October 1916 vol 86 cc724-5
39. Mr. RONALD McNEILL

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can give the House any information as to the circumstances attending the loss of His Majesty's ships "Nottingham" and "Falmouth"?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I must refer my hon. Friend to the official communiqué published on 21st August, to which I have nothing to add.

Mr. McNEILL

Was not that communiqué confined to the statement that the two vessels were lost; and cannot the Admiralty now give more information?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I think there was more than that. I will send the hon. Member a copy.
