In a detailed address Churchill asserts Britain’s naval position in the Atlantic has been eased rather than worsened by the Brest operations.

An inquiry, led by Sir Alfred Bucknill, into the channel escape is begun, to be completed within a week, with Ludlow-Hewitt and Blaney representing RAF and navy respectively. Singapore’s loss is acknowledged as within expected risk.
