HC Deb 19 March 1891 vol 351 cc1426-7
ADMIRAL MAYNE (Pembroke and Haverfordwest)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War how many Brennan torpedoes are now constructed, how many is it proposed to construct, and what it is proposed to do with them when constructed?

*MR. E. STANHOPE

These torpedoes are for coast defence. My hon. and gallant Friend will scarcely expect a reply to the remainder of his question.

ADMIRAL MAYNE

Will the right hon. Gentleman state the number?

*MR. E. STANHOPE

Certainly not.
