§ 14. Mr. Stokesasked the First Lord of the Admiralty the number of German sub marines sunk from the outbreak of war to 31st March, 1941, or near date?
Captain HudsonNo, Sir. I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which my right hon. Friend gave on 31st July, 1940, to a similar Question. The reasons given then for withholding the information requested are not less valid at the present time, but I can state that we have reason to be encouraged by recent results achieved in the anti-U-boat campaign.
§ Mr. StokesWhile it is not desired to give any information which might be of use to the enemy, surely it is possible to publish some kind of figures?
