§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for Trade what steps he took, as the co-administrator of salvage laws, to ensure that a full record was kept of the artefacts and coins from the wreck of the "Association" before such pieces went 462W to auction, proceeds from which his Department received.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisPart IX of the Merchant Shipping Act 1894 which deals with the disposal of unclaimed wreck and the payment of salvage does not require that a permanent record of such wreck is kept. However, lists of the items referred to appear in the auctioneer's catalogues, copies of which are available in my Department for study, on request.
