§ Sir F. WISEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the rehearing of the claim of Mr. Albert Close, the Canadian inventor of the basic electric anti-submarine net; and, if not, why not?
Mr. GRAHAMI do not propose to accede to a request for a re-hearing of this claim for anex gratia, award, as it has already been heard and determined by the Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors, and no new evidence which would justify a re-hearing has been submitted.
