§ MR. GALLOWAY (Manchester, S.W.)I beg to ask the Civil Lord to the Admiralty if he can state what progress is now being made with the extension of the dockyard at Malta; and if he can say when the work will be completed.
§ THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. ARTHUR LEE,) Hampshire, FarehamI am glad to say that the contractor for this work is now pushing his operations in a more satisfactory manner, and considerably better progress is being made. It is hoped that the estimated date for completion, viz., 1907–8, will not need revision.
