§ Mr. Murrayasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the diving accident in Caw-sand Bay on 9th April, 1967.
§ Mr. FoleyI regret to say that during aqualung diving training by members of the Expedition Diving Club of H.M.S. "Fisgard" in Cawsand Bay on 9th April an accident occurred which resulted in the deaths of Instructor Lieutenant F. Anton, who was in charge of the party, and of Artificer Apprentice J. T. Phillips. They failed to respond to signals instructing them to surface after a dive of normal duration and when hauled from the water unconscious, could not be revived despite attempt at resuscitation. The exact cause of their deaths has not been established. I extend my deepest sympathy to the relatives.
