§ MR. BELLAIRS (Lynn Regis)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, having regard to the fact that no vessels classed as armoured ships in the list of effective ships have been docked in the new floating dock at Bermuda since its arrival on August 8th, 1902, he will state what armoured ships have been docked in the old floating dock since August 8th, 1902; and whether he can state how much of the £600,000 provided for Bermuda dockyard extension remains still unexpended?
412 (Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) H.M.S. "Hotspur" is the only armoured ship that has been docked in the old floating dock at Bermuda since 8th August, 1902, but during the same period six unarmoured vessels ranging up to 6,250 tons have been docked there. The sum of about £40,000 remains unexpended on the Bermuda dockyard extension item.
