HC Deb 02 April 1917 vol 92 c914
98. Mr. G. LAMBERT

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in the table of losses caused by hostile submarines issued by the Admiralty, the number of arrivals and sailings include British, allied, and neutral tonnage, while the losses apply only to British tonnage?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Yes, Sir. The weekly return states that fact.

100. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what proportion, respectively, of the loss of 281 ships, with a total tonnage of 505,000, during February was British, Allied, and neutral?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The figures quoted in the hon. Member's question have not been furnished by the Admiralty, but it is approximately correct to say that of the ships lost in February, one-half were British and one-half Allied and neutral.
