§ 48. Mr. KINGasked the Prime Minister whether he has any information showing 1378 that Russian sailors succeeded in sinking war vessels in the Black Sea in order to prevent their falling into German hands?
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Bonar Law)Full information has not been received, but we have reason to believe that some Russian vessels have been destroyed as suggested in the question. On the other hand, it is the fact that a large part of the Russian Black Sea Fleet has fallen into German hands.
