HC Deb 25 March 1897 vol 47 c1315
SIR LEONARD LYELL (Orkney and Shetland)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the arrangements for the summer cruise of the Channel Fleet include a visit of part of the Fleet to the Port of Lerwick in Shetland, which has several times been petitioned for by the inhabitants of Lerwick?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY

No arrangements have been made for a visit by the Channel Fleet to Lerwick.
