§ MR. BELLAIRS (Lynn Regis)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty with reference to a list of seventy-six collisions and groundings of warships during 1905, given in the Return No. 319 issued on Monday, 10th December, whether the following have been omitted, and, if so, for what reason: "Vixen" and "Lee" in collision on or about 4th May, "Whiting" in collision at Wei-Hai-Wei on or about 30th June, H.M.S. "Jupiter" in collision off Dover with a Danish schooner and a brigantine on or about 27th July, and "Furious" in collision with "St. Vincent" while proceeding out of Portsmouth Harbour on or about 12th September.
§ (Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) It is regretted that the collision of the "Vixen" and "Lee," and of the "Jupiter," and the Danish brigantine "Caroline" were omitted from the Return in question by inadvertence. The repairs to the "Vixen" occupied three weeks, and the damage to the "Jupiter" was too slight to require special repairs. There is no record of any mishap to the "Whiting" and "Furious" on the dates named.
