HC Deb 06 December 1906 vol 166 cc1166-7
MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (St. Andrews Burghs)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the fact that our fleet in the North Sea has at present no reliable base nearer than the south of England, he will consider the urgency of giving instructions that the work at Rosyth may be vigorously prosecuted.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

The matter is receiving careful consideration, and plans are being prepared for the information of the Board.
