§ MR. OWEN PHILIPPS (Pembroke and Haverfordwest)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether it is possible yet to make any statement with regard to the programme of work to be provided for Pembroke Dock in the next financial year.
(Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) The programme of work for Pembroke Yard for 1906–7 has not yet been issued, but provision is being made for advancement in the construction of the armoured cruisers "Warrior" and "Defence," together with the necessary maintenance of yard craft, etc., and miscellaneous services. This programme does not admit of laying down an additional new ship during 1906–7.
