§ 4. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will consider the sending to Hull of certain of the German prizes, and in particular if at least one of the surrendered submarine cruisers, in order that the people of Yorkshire may have an opportunity of seeing what our seamen have had to contend with during the War?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)An ex-German submarine minelayer, U.C. 59, visited the Humber from 7th December to 20th January, during which time she was berthed for exhibition purposes at Hull and Goole. In addition, one of the large ex-German submarines, U 98, visited Middlesbrough from 10th December to 28th December, and then Whitby until 10th January. A comprehensive tour of ex-German submarines for exhibition, purposes has been carried out, and it is not contemplated to repeat these visits.
§ Lieutenant-Commander KENWORTHYMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he could arrange to have some of the German High Sea torpedo-boats sent there?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI will convey that suggestion to the naval authorities.
