§ 35. Viscount CURZONasked the Prime Minister whether the despatches in full 1512 relating to the escape of the "Goeben," the Scarborough raid, and the battle of the Dogger Bank have been as yet published; and, if not, will he give an assurance that they will be published in due course, with any relevant information of an authentic character which may come to light from German sources?
§ Sir J. CRAIGI have been asked to reply to this question. So far as the near future is concerned, it is not proposed that documents in regard to these incidents shall be published. The first of them has already been, and the other two will very soon be, dealt with in the Naval History of the War.
§ Viscount CURZONI did not quite hear what the hon. and gallant Gentleman said, but am I right in assuming that in due course, on some day in the future, the full despatches relating to these will be published?
§ Sir J. CRAIGI would not look so far into the future. It is not intended to publish them at the present moment.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYAre details of these available for use at the Staff College, Greenwich?
§ Sir J. CRAIGPerhaps the hon. and gallant Gentleman will put down a question.
