HC Deb 14 March 1907 vol 171 cc215-6
MR. BELLAIRS

I bog to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the Commander-in-Chief of the Home Fleet, in addition to living in a house at Sheerness, will be frequently away from the Nore Division of the Home Fleet while inspecting the other ships under his command at Portsmouth and Plymouth.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

It is not anticipated that the absence of the Commander-in-Chief of the Home Fleet from his flagship, or the absence of the flagship from the main fleet, will be more frequent or more prolonged than in any other seagoing fleets.

MR. ARTHURLEE (Hampshire, Fareham)

Has the Commander-in-Chief of the Channel Fleet an official residence on shore?

The reply was inaudible.
