HC Deb 11 March 1940 vol 358 c848W
Mr. Rostron Duckworth

asked the Minister of Information whether, in view of the continued issue of inaccurate claims by Germany as to the naval and military losses of herself and the Allies since the war began and the confusion which this causes in some neutral countries, he can arrange for the issue of a monthly White Paper containing an accurate and concise list of Allied losses to a specific date, together with German losses, so far as they have been established during the same period?

Sir J. Reith

A short statement is issued weekly by the Admiralty giving losses of British, Allied and neutral merchant ships. Other losses are dealt with in periodical statements by the Ministers concerned.
