Major Stourtonasked the Prime Minister whether he is now in a position to make a further statement regarding the circumstances of the loss of His Majesty's Ships "Prince of Wales" and "Repulse"; and whether, at the time of the sinking of these two ships, they were protected by an adequate escort of seaborne or landbased fighter aircraft?
§ Mr. AttleeI regret that I am not able to add to the statements which have already been made on this subject.
§ Major StourtonIs my right hon. Friend aware that there is considerable public anxiety on this issue? Will the Government trust the people for once, and tell the whole truth?
