§ Sir T. BRAMSDONasked the Secretary to the Admiralty why no claims have been made by the Crown on behalf of dockyard tugs or salvage party for the salvage of steamships "Lizette" and "Woodfield," seeing that the services rendered were quite equal to those of other cases; and will he obtain permission for the salvors to claim on their own behalf?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI am advised that the services rendered were not considered to be of sufficient importance to justify a claim on a salvage basis.
