§ MR. FELL (Great Yarmouth)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether there is any unusual accumulation of repairs to battleships and cruisers required at the present time; and whether any unusual delay is being experienced in getting such repairs effected.
§ MR. EDMUND ROBERTSONThe Answer to both parts of the Question is in the negative; and it may be stated that the expenditure already incurred on repairs during the current financial year is in excess of that contemplated when the present Estimates were framed.
