HC Deb 14 May 1896 vol 40 cc1337-8
SIR J. DILLWYN-LLEWELLYN (Swansea Town)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty, if he will give instructions, on the approaching visit of the Channel Fleet to the Bristol Channel, for a visit to be paid to the neighbourhood of Swansea and the Mumbles?

MR. W. REES DAVIES (Pembrokeshire)

asked the right hon. Gentleman whether, in view of the forthcoming royal visit to Cardiff, he would order the Fleet to visit Milford Haven, and to cruise round the coast?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY

The wish of the hon. Member will be noted with a view to one or more of Her Majesty's ships visiting the Mumbles anchorage in June should circumstances admit, but it is not the Channel Squadron which I have mentioned in connection with a visit to the Bristol Channel.
