§ SIR ROBERT HOBART (Hampshire, New Forest)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any further arrangements have been made for mooring torpedo boats and destroyers in the Southampton Water or the Hamble River, in view of the importance of this matter to yacht owners and fishermen in the present season.
§ MR. McKENNANo destroyers or torpedo boats have been stationed in the Hamble River yet, and the question of the suitability of the river for the purpose intended is engaging the careful consideration of the Admiralty.
§ MR. ASHLEYwas understood to say that destroyers had already been in the Hamble River.
