HC Deb 11 February 1895 vol 30 cc459-60
CAPTAIN DONELAN

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if he can say when the training ship Northampton may be expected to pay another visit to Cork Harbour?

Mr. E. ROBERTSON

It is proposed that Queenstown should be included among the ports that the Northampton will visit when she leaves on her next cruise, probably about the end of the present month.

MR. WEIR

inquired whether there was any intention to send a training ship to Stornoway?

MR. ROBERTSON

I must have notice of that question.

CAPTAIN DONELAN

asked whether, on the last occasion that the Northampton visited Queenstown, a far larger number of applicants presented themselves than the ship could accommodate; and, whether, in view of this fact, the Admiralty would consider the advisa bility of placing a training ship at Queenstown?

MR. ROBERTSON

It will be considered.
