HC Deb 28 May 1952 vol 501 c155W
41. Mr. Law

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty when the claim of Mrs. Hilder, 191, Coronation Road, Hull, against the owners of ss. "St. Rognvald" is likely to be met; and whether he is aware that it is more than 10 years since Mrs. Hilder's husband lost his life in a collision between the" Boy Andrew" and ss. "St. Rognvald"; and that the delay in settling this claim is causing great in- convenience to Mrs. Hilder as well as to other claimants.

Mr. Digby

It is hoped that this case will appear in the Court Roll next week when an order will be made for the payment out of the fund in court due to the claimants in this case. A settlement should therefore be effected very shortly, but this depends entirely on the procedure in the Scottish Courts.
