HC Deb 10 March 1896 vol 38 cc611-2
MR. NICOL

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, if he is able to state what places on the west coast of Scotland H.M.S. Northampton will visit during her cruise; and if he can give the time and date of visit at each port of call?

MR. MACARTNEY

The Northampton will visit Oban from the 12th to the 15th of May next; Tobermory from the 15th to the 19th; Portree from the 20th to the 26th; Rothesay from the 28th May to the 1st of June, and Campbeltown from the 1st of June to the 9th of July. The long stay at the last named place is to allow of rifle practice being carried out there.

MR. J. G. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty),

asked whether the Admiralty had any intention of sending the Northampton to my of the ports in Ross-shire and Sutherlandshire?

MR. MACARTNEY

No, Sir.
