§ Commander Viscount CURZONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is in a position to make any statement as to the cause of the explosion which is reported to have taken place at Messrs. Vickers' factory on the 15th May, resulting in the death of two naval officers?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAA Naval Court of Inquiry is investigating the matter. Their Report is now on its way to the Admiralty. Until it is received, I am afraid I cannot make any statement.
