MR. TIMOTHY DAVIES (Fulham)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty what was the annual cost during the three years ended 31st March, 1908, of keeping the harbour and breakwater of Alderney in serviceable condition and repair; and what use is made of the harbour by the vessels of His Majesty's Navy.

MR. McKENNA

The annual cost of keeping the harbour and breakwater of Alderney in serviceable condition and repair has been as follows, during the last three years:—

£
1905–6 4,157.
1906–7 3,933.

Alderney is visited from time to time by His Majesty's ships, and was used as an important centre during the naval manœuvres of 1906.
