HC Deb 10 October 1945 vol 414 c217
39. Squadron-Leader Donner

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what measures are being taken to raise the wrecks lying in Malta harbour.

Mr. George Hall

The Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean, is the authority for the disposition of all British salvage resources in the Mediterranean. At the present time Malta is given first priority by the British Fleet Salvage Department. Numerous wrecks in the harbour have already been cleared. Work is at present in progress on the removal of other wrecks.

Mr. Bowles

Do I understand that some of the defeated Conservative candidates got as far as Malta?
