§ Sir I. Alberyasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in future, when making the monthly statement of merchant ship losses due to enemy action, he will at the same time give the comparative figure of enemy merchant shipping losses arising from Allied action?
§ Sir V. WarrenderThe estimation of enemy losses depends upon many sources of information and may often take a considerable time. It is not, therefore, possible to promise any regular statement such as that requested. The hon. Member will, however, have noticed that the last two announcements of our own losses have included an estimate of enemy losses up to the most convenient date.
