§ Mr. FELLasked if the necessary sheltered harbours for the anchorage of floating docks requiring great depth of water are available on the East Coast of England or Scotland; and, if so, at what places?
§ Mr. McKENNAA floating dock can be berthed in several of the rivers and harbours on the East Coast of England and Scotland. In some cases dredging would be necessary.
§ Mr. FELLWill the right hon. Gentleman answer the last part of the question, and state at what place?
§ Mr. McKENNAIn several of the rivers. I cannot undertake to give the precise places.
§ Mr. FELLIs the Admiralty constructing floating docks without having made preparations for the places?
§ Mr. McKENNAThey will not be ready for a minimum period of 18 months or two years, and in the course of that period there will be ample time to find the requisite home for the docks.
