§ Mr. MIDDLEMOREasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, when the reserve destroyer flotilla at the Nore leaves Sheerness for its cruise, he will give instructions for the vessel to proceed at full speed to their destination in order that their degree of reliability may be ascertained?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe reply to the hon. Member's question is in the negative.
§ Mr. MIDDLEMOREMay I ask whether these vessels can proceed at full speed, and whether they have received orders not to proceed at full speed?
§ Mr. McKENNAYes, Sir, they can proceed at full speed.
