HC Deb 25 March 1902 vol 105 cc984-5
MR. JAMES HOPE (Sheffield, Brightside)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether any orders for armour plate have been given out by the Admiralty since his statement on the subject on 10th March.

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. PRETYMAN,) Suffolk, Woodbridge

No orders have been given out since the date mentioned, but the information necessary to enable manufacturers to tender will be ready at a very early date.
