HC Deb 07 July 1909 vol 7 c1202
Mr. LONSDALE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it has been decided that one of the new floating docks will be stationed at Portsmouth?

Mr. McKENNA

It will be possible for one of the floating docks to be placed at Portsmouth, but it would be incorrect to say that it will be "stationed" there.

Mr. LONSDALE

asked whether the two floating docks for which provision is made in the Estimates will be constructed under contract; and, if so, whether the contract has yet been given?

Mr. McKENNA

The reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; and, to the second, in the negative.
