§ MR. BUCHANAN (Perthshire, E.)I beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty what is the total annual cost of Portsmouth Dockyard.
§ MR. PRETYMANIt is not practicable to give the approximate cost of Portsmouth in 1902–1903 with any approach to accuracy without considerable labour. If the hon. Member will refer to the Dockyard Expense Accounts, which is issued as a Parliamentary Paper, he will find there, on page 197, the cost of the establishment and incidental charges at Portsmouth for the past ten years, the total for 1901–1902 being £362,253.
