§ Mr. O'Brienasked the First Lord of the Admiralty the scrap value of the submarine "Universal," recently in difficulties off the Welsh coast; and how this sum compares with the total expenditure on rescue work while the vessel was in this plight.
§ Mr. AlexanderIt is not possible to estimate the scrap value of the submarine "Universal ", I regret, therefore, that I cannot say how this compares with the cost of salvage, which was approximately£150.
