HC Deb 16 March 1916 vol 80 cc2286-7W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the licence of the acting captain of the "Lusitania" on her last voyage has been withdrawn or suspended; and, if not, what ship does he now command?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The Wreck Commissioners' Court, before which the inquiry into the loss of the "Lusitania" was held, exonerated the master from any blame for the loss of the vessel or for the loss of life. The Board of Trade cannot state the master's present employment.
