15. Mr. FOOTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he has now caused inquiries to be made as to the losses sustained by the hook-and-line fishermen of Cawsand, near Plymouth, consequent on the unrecovered hydrophone wire fouling their gear; and whether he will grant compensation in respect of these losses?
§ Mr. AMERYInquiries have been made and orders have been given for the hydrophone cables to be recovered. Any question of compensation would fall to be dealt with by the War Compensation Court, to whom any claims should be presented.
