§ MR. PLUMMER (Newcastle-on-Tyne)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether due notice will be given of any decision the Admiralty may arrive at in favour of establishing a Naval base on the North-East Coast, and, in that event, and before the selection of any particular port, whether an opportunity will be given to the public authorities associated with the Tyne to set forth the claims of that river for selection by the Admiralty.
(Answered by Mr. Arnold-Forster.) This matter was dealt with by the First Lord of the Treasury in reply to a Question asked by the hon. and gallant Member for Yarmouth on the 5th instant, † and I ask leave to refer the hon. Member to that answer.
