HC Deb 22 July 1912 vol 41 c834W
Mr. FFRENCH

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the large quantity of registered manuscript that went down with the "Titanic"; and whether the senders are to receive any indemnity?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The mails lost in the "Titanic" included a large number of registered packets. The question whether indemnities are payable to the senders in respect of these packets cannot be decided until the report of the recent inquiry is issued.
