HC Deb 20 March 1918 vol 104 cc951-2
4. Commander BELLAIRS

asked on what date the new trawler "W. H. Rodd," M L, of 11½ knots, was brought into naval service for the War; if the vessel was frequently employed, and, if so, between what dates, in catching fish in Rye Bay, where fish is scarce, for the Dover Command; and, if so, whether he will be willing to submit the log-books to a reporter for the Committee on Expenditure in order that they may investigate why a vessel taken up to defend ships from disaster and crews from drowning was so employed?

Dr. MACNAMARA

A report on the circumstances alleged in my hon. and gallant Friend's question has been called for.
