§ CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware that the Queenstown guardship Warspite was last week sent across the Channel for overhauling in an English dockyard; and if he can say why these repairs were not executed at Haulbowline?
SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTHThe Warspite has been ordered to Devon-port because certain of the defects which had to be repaired could not be dealt with at Haulbowline. But instructions were given that all the other defects were to be remedied at that yard.
