OVERSEA PRIZE DISPOSAL COMMITTEE to TREASURY.
Downing Street, 25th July, 1918.
SIR,
I AM directed by the Committee to transmit to you, to be laid before the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, the accompanying copy of a letter* which has been received from the Ministry of Shipping on the subject of the utilization of prize and detained enemy vessels for the replacement of requisitioned vessels lost through war risk.
As the matters raised would not appear to the Committee to be directly within their terms of reference I am to inquire whether their lordships would desire that the Committee should give consideration thereto and formulate recommendations.
I am, &c.,
G. JONES.
