HC Deb 29 April 1903 vol 121 c788
MR. BLACK (Banffshire)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can now state the extent and rental of the ground acquired for the purpose of the naval base at St. Margaret's Hope, and the price to be paid for the same.

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

I must ask the hon. Member to postpone this Question as the negotiations are still in progress in regard to the area to be acquired at Rosyth.
