HC Deb 10 April 1919 vol 114 cc2244-5W
Colonel BURN

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will recommend the remuneration of the owners of trawlers whose vessels were sunk by enemy action, whose insurance at pre-war value falls considerably short of the cost of building a new boat at present-day prices?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I assume that my hon. and gallant Friend refers to trawlers which were lost while fishing. If so, any question of the inadequacy of the Government scheme of insurance should be addressed to the Board of Trade.
