HC Deb 30 March 1896 vol 39 c374
SIR LEONARD LYELL (Orkney and Shetland)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty, whether the cruiser Northampton, now about to start on a recruiting trip, is to call at Kirk-wall and Lerwick; and, if this has not been already arranged, whether he will include these seaports in the list of places which the Northampton is to visit?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY

As at present advised the Northampton will not visit Kirkwall and Lerwick in the course of her present cruise.
