HC Deb 21 March 1949 vol 463 c9W
Sir R. Ross

asked the Minister of Transport what salvage operations as regards R.M.S. "Empress of Britain" are contemplated; and to what extent the wreck contained bullion.

Mr. Barnes

I have no information of any proposed salvage operations. There is no reason to believe that there was any bullion on board at the time of sinking.
