HC Deb 06 March 1905 vol 142 c403
MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON (Dundee)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the promised Returns relating to ships struck off the effective list and to cruisers not so struck off will be in the hands of Members before the discussion of the Navy Estimates in Committee of Supply.

*MR. PRETYMAN

The information asked for by the hon. Member will take some time to prepare, but I hope that it may be in the hands of Members during the next fortnight.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

Will the further discussion on the Navy Estimates be postponed till then?

*MR. PRETYMAN

That is a Question I am not able to answer.

MR. LOUGH (Islington, W.)

Can the hon. Gentleman give us the number of ships?

*MR. PRETYMAN

I must ask for notice of that.
