HC Deb 15 December 1902 vol 116 c1212
*SIR CHARLES DILKE

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether a Report can be presented to Parliament on such portions of the recent combined operations of the Mediterranean and Channel Squadrons as can be made public without prejudice to the public interests.

THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. ARNOLD-FORSTER,) Belfast, W.

The reports of the combined manoeuvres have not yet been fully considered by the Board of Admiralty, but when they have been so considered, there is no objection to laying before Parliament a report giving an account of the general scope and results of the manoeuvres.

*SiR CHARLES DILKE

It will be done by the Admiralty?

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

Yes, Sir.
