HC Deb 12 November 1906 vol 164 c1031
MR. F. E. SMITH (Liverpool, Walton)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if he will give the names of the ships which it is proposed to withdraw from full commission and place in the home fleet with nucleus crews.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

I must refer the hon. and learned Member to my reply to a similar Question by the hon. Member for Gravesend on Tuesday last.†

MR. F. E. SMITH

Will the right hon. Gentleman give the number of cruisers?

The reply was inaudible.
