§ MR. HARMSWORTHI beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, whether H.M.S. "Irresistible," one of the latest types of battleships, is to become guardship at Gibraltar instead of joining the active strength of the Mediterranean Squadron.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERThe "Irresistible," a battleship of the latest type, has taken the place of the "Devastation," a less powerful and older 177 vessel, as guardship at Gibraltar. The "Irresistible" is, like all other vessels in the Mediterranean, under the orders and at the disposal of the Commander-in-Chief.
