HC Deb 14 April 1902 vol 106 cc139-40
MR. LOUGII (Islington. W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will arrange, on the day previous to or succeeding the proposed Naval Review at Spithead, in connection with the Coronation, for such Members of Parliament as desire to visit the various classes of warships belonging to this, and any foreign country that may take part in the review.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

The Admiralty cannot make any arrangements with regard to foreign ships, but every facility will be given to hon. Members desiring to visit His Majesty's ships on the occasion of the Coronation review. If a sufficient number of Members desire to visit any special ship or ships, arrangements will be made for their convenience, and I shall be glad if hon. Members will communicate with me in respect to the matter.

MR. LOUGH

Is it not possible to make arrangements for visiting foreign ships?

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

I do not think the Admiralty could undertake that responsibility.

Forward to
