HC Deb 09 August 1905 vol 151 c800
MR. RENWICK (Newcastle-on-Tyne)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether licensed pilots are employed on board His Majesty's warships while navigating the coasts of the United Kingdom; and is care taken that such pilots are British-born subjects.

THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. PRETYMAN,) Suffolk, Woodbridge

Pilots are never employed by His Majesty's ships while navigating the coasts of the United Kingdom, unless in some very special case.
