HC Deb 01 August 1908 vol 193 c2084
MR. BELLAIRS

To ask the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will state for what practical purpose are the engines of H.M.S. "Indomitable" being subjected to the strain of racing at full speed across the Atlantic; and whether it is sufficient to justify the expenditure of the coal involved.

(Answered by Mr. McKenna.) The practical purpose served is that of an endurance test at high speed.
