HC Deb 03 June 1919 vol 116 c1832
89. Commander BELLAIRS

asked the- President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that inquiries into the losses of merchants ships are held in public, but the inquiry into the loss of the "Lusitania" was held in secret because of the War; and whether he will now release to the Press the records of this inquiry as a matter of public interest in the British Empire and the United States?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I am consulting the Admiralty as to the possibility of publishing that part of the evidence which was given in camera at the inquiry into the loss of the steamship "Lusitania," and will inform my hon. and gallant Friend of the result.
