§ MR. FENWICK (Northumberland, Wansbeck)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can state when H.M.S. "Russell" will be ready for her trials again; and whether he has any official report showing that her crankshaft bearings have too little surface for the power required to give the designed speed.
(Answered by Mr. Arnold-Forster.)The steam trials of H.M.S. "Russell" have been completed, and the vessel will be ready to carry out her gun trials in September. No official report showing that her crankshaft bearings have too little surface for the power required to give the designed speed has been received.
