MR. RBNWICK (Newcastle-on-Tyne)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, considering that it is many years since the Channel Fleet visited the Tyne, he will endeavour to arrange for it to visit that river during the coming autumn.
§ * THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. PRETYMAN, Suffolk, Woodbridge)The autumn programme of movements for His Majesty's ships in home waters has not yet been arranged, but the feasibility of acting on the hon. Member's proposal for a visit to be paid to the Tyne will be duly considered when making out the programme.
