§ Lord CHARLES BERESFORDasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state why, in selecting a naval officer to act as assessor in the "Titanic" Inquiry, he has thought it necessary to ignore all those who are already on the Home Office list?
§ Mr. McKENNAIn view of the great importance of this inquiry, I thought it right to add to the list the name of an officer who seemed to me better qualified than any other to assist in the investigation. The course taken involves no reflection on the ability of the officers already on the list.
