§ MR. KEARLEY (Devonport)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can state when the new docks which the Admiralty contemplate undertaking at Devonport will be commenced, also the character and extent of the work?
§ THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. E. ROBERTSON,) DundeeThe scheme for the new docks and extension of Devonport Dockyard is under consideration, and the necessary plans and estimates are being prepared. A decision as to the commencement of the works would, therefore, be premature.
