107 and 108. Mr. Erroll

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty (1) when it is intended to publish a return of the losses of all ships of the R.N. and all auxiliary ships of the R.N., during the 1939–45 war, together with precise locations and other relevant data in similar form to the returns relating to the 1914–18 war ordered to be printed on 19th August 1919;

(2) when it is intended to publish a return of the losses of British merchant and fishing vessels captured or destroyed by the enemy and similar vessels damaged and molested but not destroyed during the 1939–45 war, showing, so far as is known, the name, gross tonnage, date, position and method of attack, cause of loss or escape, and number of lives lost in a similar manner to the return relating to the 1914–18 war which was ordered to be printed on 19th August, 1919.

Mr. Dugdale

It is hoped to publish returns of losses on these lines early in 1947.
