HC Deb 21 July 1908 vol 192 c1702
MR. LAMONT (Buteshire)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will arrange in future that cruisers on the West Indian station should dock at Trinidad instead of leaving their station and steaming 1,500 miles to dock at Bermuda.

MR. McKENNA

The visits of cruisern on the West Indies station to Bermuda are governed by various considerations. When such visits take place, the opportunity is naturally taken of docking airship which requires it. I will, however, consider my hon. friend's suggestion in case it should be convenient at any time to have a ship docked at Trinidad.
