Penlee, Cornwall – Lifeboat disaster.

The President of the Finance and Economics Committee made a statement in the following terms –

"All States members will be aware of the sea disaster which took place at the weekend during the course of which the Penlee lifeboat was lost with all eight members of her crew.

I am sure that the States would wish to express their heartfelt condolences to the bereaved members of all the families involved and the Finance and Economics Committee proposes to make a contribution of £10,000 out of the Contingencies Vote to the fund which has been set up to help finance the purchase of a new boat and to provide financial assistance to the families."

THE STATES unanimously expressed their support of the proposal.

Compliments of the Season.

Senator Ralph Vibert on behalf of the Senators, Mr. John Philip Pirouet, Connétable of St. Ouen on behalf of the Connétable s and Deputy Philip George Mourant of St. Helier on behalf of the Deputies wished the Bailiff and Lady Ereaut and His Excellency The Lieutenant Governor and Lady Whiteley the compliments of the season, to which the Bailiff responded.

THE STATES rose at 10.55 a.m.

R.S. GRAY, Deputy Greffier of the States.
