HC Deb 01 December 1937 vol 329 c2053
23. Mr. Thorne

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can give the House any information in connection with the death of the man Marples who was found in the sealed cabin on board the aircraft-carrier "Furious," stationed at Plymouth; and whether the wallet that was taken from his pocket has been found?

Mr. Cooper

An inquest into the circumstances of this man's death is to be held to-morrow. Pending the result of it I cannot make any statement on the subject.
