After the loss of submarine A3, Beresford asked about widows, children, parents, compensation, and compassionate allowances. The parliamentary reply lists weekly pensions, child allowances, and continuing inquiries into other dependants. Beresford then asked to be informed privately about the men whose family circumstances were still unknown. He used his parliamentary position here to press for the welfare of naval personnel. Concern for the men who served in the fleet also gave him a point of common ground with Fisher.
