asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the motor boat "Rose of York," which belonged to Herr Wilhelm Westrup, having been requisitioned by the Control Commission authorities in Germany has recently been handed back to him in a dilapidated condition with all the fittings that could be removed gone the motor disabled, the propeller missing and the hull damaged; and what steps will now be taken to put the boat in order.

I am looking into the matter and will write to my hon. Friend.
