HC Deb 07 August 1900 vol 87 cc925-6
SIR FORTESCUE FLANNERY

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can see his way to state what investigations are being made in this country into the question of submarine boats; and whether it is the intention of the Admiralty to proceed with the building of any experimental submarine ship as is now being done in the case of at least two foreign navies.

MR. GOSCHEN

I must refer the hon. Gentleman to my previous statements in the House in answer to the hon. Gentlemen the Member for West Newington and the Member for Bolton on the 6th April and 3rd May last.†
