§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the tenders for the work in connection with the establishment of a Royal Naval Reserve station at Ullapool, Ross-shire, have yet been considered; and can he say when the work is likely to be commenced.
§ THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. ARTHUR LEE, Hampshire, Fareham)The Answer to the first part of the hon. Member's Question is in the negative. With regard to the latter part, as has already been explained in answer to a Question by the hon. Member for Inverness, on February 28th,† the whole question of Royal Naval Reserve batteries is in process of reconsideration at the Admiralty, and no decision with regard to them has yet been arrived at.
