§ 25. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Mooreasked the First Lord of the Admiralty the source of the oil contained in the enemy tanker sunk by H.M.S. "Sussex"?
§ The First Lord of the Admiralty (Mr. A. V. Alexander)Direct information is lacking, since, as stated in the Admiralty communiqué, no survivors could be picked up from the enemy tanker. It can safely be assumed, however, that her cargo was obtained from a source under the control of Japan.
