HC Deb 11 July 1907 vol 178 c38
MR. COURTHOPE (Sussex, Rye)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the defective casting of the rudder of H. M. S. "Edward VII." was inspected by an Admiralty inspector before being built into the ship; and, if so, whether such inspector had practical knowledge of castings.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

I am informed that the Answer to both Questions is in the affirmative.
