HC Deb 04 June 1894 vol 25 c285
MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if he is now iii a position to state when the new cruiser for the protection of the fisheries around the Island of Lewis and the western mainland will be ready for service?

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN,) Glasgow, Bridgeton

The new cruiser is now at Granton. Specifications and estimates are being prepared for the alterations necessary to be made to her. When they have been accepted the work will be pushed on at once, but it is impossible to say yet on what date they will be finished. No time is being lost.
