§ MR. CARLILE (Hertfordshire, St-Albans)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, seeing that the vessels now in course of completion include twelve at Glasgow and only three on the Thames it is proposed that at least one of the new armoured ships about to be ordered shall be laid down on the Thames.
§ MR. EDMUND ROBERTSONI am not in a position to make any statement on this subject at present.
