Mr. SIMPSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any information on the subject of the schooner "Patrician M. Beman," which sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia, on 17th November, 1922; whether he is aware that the vessel was found derelict at the entrance of Great South Bay on 15th April, 1923, and that there were traces of a severe conflict having occurred on board; and whether he will cause inquiries to be made into the disappearance of the crew of the vessel?
§ Mr. McNEILLI have nothing to add to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member on April 17th.
