HC Deb 01 June 1932 vol 266 c1148
10. Rear-Admiral SUETER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is satisfied that the equipment provided in our home ports for the salvage of submarines that meet with an accident in moderate depths of water is as efficient as possible.

Sir B. EYRES MONSELL

The equipment provided is considered to be efficient for the purpose. The salvage operations now being carried out on "M/" are providing valuable information and experience. The whole question of submarine salvage will be reviewed after "M/" has been raised, in the light of the experience so gained.

Mr. THORNE

Is not the surest way of preventing accidents to submarines for all countries to prohibit them altogether?
