WORK OF THE FLEET
SHOULD IT HAVE GONE TO OSLO? LORD HANKEY’S EXPLANATION. LOSS OF VALUABLE TRANSPORT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day 10 a.m.) LONDON, May 8. Lord Hankey in the House of Lords, replying to a suggestion that the fleet ought to have gone to Oslo, said the fleet was chasing German ships to which it gave battle. It could not have gone to Oslo on that particular day. He suggested that one of our greatest losses was the torpedoing on April 20, of a ship loaded with anti-aircraft guns and valuable stores. This was the only transport sunk during the whole campaign.
