A widow's quest for the truth behind the HMS Affray submarine tragedy which claimed the life of her first husband is to be debated in Parliament tomorrow.

June Tower, 81, from Natland, said that the truth about the sinking of the submarine in 1951 with the loss of its entire crew was never properly explained.

She has long wanted the Government to probe the disaster in which her husband John Treleaven died.

And tomorrow MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale Tim Farron is to ask the Government for a reinvestigation in a Westminister Hall debate.

Mrs Tower believes that the disaster was the result of 'an error of judgement' and that the Affray should never have set sail with an inexperienced crew.
