HC Deb 15 April 1907 vol 172 cc586-7
MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (St. Andrews Burghs)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether there is any intention of making an †See (4) Debates, cliv., 356. increase, in the near future, in the staff of men working at Rosyth dock, which now consists of nine men.

I beg also to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the fact that from John o' Groats to Dover there is no dock able to take battleships of the "Dreadnought" class, he will consider the urgency of constructing a suitable dock at Rosyth without delay.

THE SECRETAEY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. Edmund Robertson,) Dundee

A statement on the subject of both these Questions will be made in the course of the debate on Vote 10, which I anticipate will be taken at an early date.
