HC Deb 14 March 1919 vol 113 c1616W
Mr. WASON

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if there is any probability of two fishing vessels, particulars of which have been furnished to him, commandeered by the Admiralty, being released in time for the summer fishing?

Dr. MACNAMARA

From particulars supplied by my hon. Friend, it would appear that one of the vessels referred to is the motor drifter "Produce,"lately in the employment of the Royal Air Force. If that is so, I am glad to be able to inform him that orders were given on the 12th March for her return to Aberdeen to be demobilised and returned to her owners. If my hon. Friend will furnish the name of the steam drifter, I will make an inquiry regarding her release.
