§ MR. JUSTIN M'CARTHY (Londonderry)asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether it is the fact that the shipbuilding industry has been extensively revived on the Foyle at Derry City; and, whether, having regard to the great efforts made by the Harbour Commissioners, the expenditure of public moneys and of private capital, to promote this useful Irish enterprise, he will advise a share of the Government orders being given to the shipyard on the Foyle?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Ealing)I understand that owing to the energy and ability of Mr. Charles T. Biggar, a new shipyard of considerable dimensions has been opened on the Foyle. The premises will be inspected by technical officers of the Admiralty, with a view to ascertaining their capability for executing Admiralty contracts.
