§ 2. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what payment is to be made for the use of naval personnel in searching for possible treasure at Tobermory.
§ Mr. CallaghanThe contract arranged for this work provides for repayment in full of all Admiralty expenses, including the pay and allowances of the naval personnel.
§ Mr. HughesCan my hon. Friend give us some idea of the price the Duke of Argyll is being asked to pay for the services of the naval personnel? Further, will my hon. Friend consult with the 1933 Lord Advocate as to whether, if any treasure is recovered, it belongs to the Crown and not to the Duke?
§ Mr. CallaghanThe Duke has undertaken to pay all the expenses involved in the operation. Perhaps we had better find the ducats before we claim them.
