§ MR. NIELDTo ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will state the age, tonnage, speed, and armament of the torpedo boats forming the torpedo boat flotilla in commission at Sheerness and Chatham; whether any, and which, of them are manned with full crews.
(Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) I regret that I am unable to give the hon. Member the information he asks for, as it would not be in the public interest that the details of our defences in the naval ports should be made public.
