HC Deb 02 December 1936 vol 318 c1237
19. Mr. DAY

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty the number of cases of damage, or attempted damage, to His Majesty's ships undergoing refit in His Majesty's dockyards during the 12 months ended to the last convenient date; and in how many of these cases sabotage was suspected?

Sir S. HOARE

I am glad to say that the number of occasions on which sabotage was suspected during the last 12 months is small, but I am not prepared to give a more detailed statement.

Mr. DAY

Have any inquiries taken place and have any prosecutions followed?

Sir S. HOARE

Yes, Sir; I think there have been prosecutions.

Mr. DAY

Can the right hon. Gentleman say with what result?

Sir S. HOARE

Not without notice.
