HC Deb 22 July 1925 vol 186 c2228W
Major HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, with regard to the "Bacchus" disaster, if he can now say whether any arrangements have been made with regard to compensation claims on behalf of Mrs. Riddell and Mrs. Edwards, both dependants of seamen killed in this disaster?

Mr. DAVIDSON

The maximum sums due under the Workmen's Compensation Acts on account of the deaths of Edward J. Riddle and Albert J. Edwards have been duly paid into the Plymouth County Court as compensation for the benefit of their dependants.
