HC Deb 05 April 1909 vol 3 cc713-4
Mr. FELL

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many dirigible balloons have been acquired by, or are being built for, the German Government; and if he can give any particulars of the garages and stations being prepared to shelter them?

Mr. HALDANE

My right hon. Friend has asked me to take this question. Six balloons are reported to have been built, and six more to be building. With regard to the latter part of the question, the information will be circulated with the Votes and Proceedings.

Mr. FELL

Do I understand that the number of these garages and stations will be so numerous that they will require a special Paper?

Mr. HALDANE

It is a long list; I have it here, and I propose to have it printed and circulated.
