HC Deb 01 March 1917 vol 90 c2173W
Mr. BROOKES

asked the Postmaster-General if, without giving details which may be inadvisable, he can inform the public of each occasion on which the mails are lost by submarine attack?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

The fullest possible information is announced by the Post Office through the medium of the public Press in case of loss of British mails at sea, whether as the result of enemy action or from any other cause.
