§ Sir A. MARKHAMasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the captain of the German trawler "Gudrun" was stopped by a British squadron in the North Sea; will he say whether, when the ship was examined by a British officer, he asked for time to get his crew into the boats, and was told he could take the whole ship as the British were not pirates; and, if so, will he say why this German trawler was not captured as a prize or sunk?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI have read a Press report to the effect stated in my hon. Friend's question, but we have no official information on the subject.
