§ MR. ROUND (Essex, N.E., Harwich)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the intended increase in the Fleet, it is intended to increase the number of training ships; and, if so, whether he would arrange for one of these ships to be stationed in Harwich Harbour?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. FORWOOD, Lancashire, S.W., Ormskirk)The intended increase to the Fleet will not necessitate any addition to the present number of training ships, and, therefore, I am afraid no hope can be held out of stationing a training ship at Harwich.
