§ MR. GRETTONTo ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, whether, in view of the special stress laid on H.M.S. "Dreadnought" as a reinforcement in war after she was commissioned on 11th December, 1906, it is the intention of the 1730 Board to allow this vessel to be tested by the Admiral who has been designated by the First Lord of the Admiralty for the chief command in war.
(Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) The Admiralty are already satisfied as to the fighting value of this ship, and see no necessity for a special Report on her from any admiral other than the one whose flag she flies.
