Mr. SORENSENasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he has completed his investigations into the alleged acts of sabotage committed in His Majesty's cruisers, submarines, and battleships; and whether he has discovered any evidence of political motives or that these acts are associated with any political organisation in this country?
