HC Deb 30 June 1926 vol 197 c1122
9. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that there has recently been a serious leakage of oil into the waters of the Hamoaze; and whether the Government will take steps to compensate the boat owners concerned for the time, labour and expense incurred in making good the damage done?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Davidson)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative, and the second part does not therefore arise.
