§ 15. Mr. PETOasked the Secretary to the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the fact that there are eight known cases in the small port of Appledore alone of men who have suffered during the War owing to their vessels being torpedoed by enemy action, and one case of a widow who lost her husband, and that in none of these cases was the advertised date for sending claims known; and can he give assurance that these 256 people will not be debarred from any compensation owing to their omission to send in their claims before?
§ Sir P. LLOYD-GREAMEI would refer to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for the Kirkdale Division of Liverpool on 19th February, of which I am sending him a copy.
