HC Deb 11 July 1904 vol 137 cc1200-1
MR. GIBSON BOWLES

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, in view of the fact that the sight fittings of H.M.S. "Prince of Wales" are not what would be supplied now, will he state what sight fittings would be supplied now; and has any decision been arrived at as regards the best form of sights and sight fittings either for turret guns or for 6 inch guns.

† See (4) Debates, cxxxiii., 359.
MR. PRETYMAN

The details asked for in the first part of the Question cannot be given in reply to a Parliamentary Question. A decision has been arrived at as to what is at present regarded as the best form of sights for turrets and 6-inch guns, but there is no such thing as finality in this matter.
