I propose to take Questions Nos. 305 and 306 together.
I have been in contact with the UK authorities in this matter who advise me that after the Second World War 116 German U-boats were sunk in compliance with a tripartite treaty between the UK, the US and the former USSR. Although the general areas in which the submarines were intended to be sunk are known, there was exceptionally bad weather at the time. A number of the vessels foundered under tow and exact locations were impossible to determine. A map will be forwarded to the Deputy giving the approximate locations and numbers.
