§ Mr. BASIL PETOasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has been informed of the death of Captain Joys, lately commanding the British ss. "Edith Cavell"; and whether, in view of the fact that his death is the direct result of hardships incurred owing to his imprisonment at St. Laurent on the false charge of casting away his ship at that port, he will press the French Government to grant some adequate compensation to his widow?
§ Mr. A. M. SAMUELI have learnt with regret of the death of Captain Joys, and His Majesty's Ambassador at Paris is being instructed to bring the matter to the attention of the French Government, with a view to securing a grant for his widow.
