HC Deb 18 July 1901 vol 97 c833
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will state when the M'Brayne's mail steamer "Clydesdale," which is forty-one years old, and carries the mails between Mallaig, Kyle, and Stornoway, was last surveyed, where surveyed, and by whom.

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

The "Clydesdale," which was built in 1864, and is therefore thirty-nine and not forty-one years old, was last surveyed at Glasgow in October last by one of the Board of Trade surveyors at that port.
