HC Deb 13 August 1947 vol 441 c249W
2. Mr. Stokes

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he will give the names of the ships forming the normal escort to H.M.S. "Glorious," three of which were not with her at the time she was destroyed by enemy action.

Mr. Dugdale

As I have already explained in reply to my hon. Friend's Question of 22nd May, 1946, there is no question of any particular ships, or a particular number of ships, ever having been allotted as a normal escort for H.M.S. "Glorious."
