HC Deb 20 December 1933 vol 284 cc1318-9W
Captain SOTHERON - ESTCOURT

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he can make any statement as to the circumstances in which the steamship "Broomfleet," of Goole, foundered with the loss of her crew?

Dr. BURGIN

May I take this opportunity, in which I know the House will join, of expressing my deep sympathy with the relatives of those who have lost their lives in the foundering of this vessel? Inquiries are being made into the circumstances attending the casualty, and I am unable to make any statement on the matter at present.
