§ Mr. F. B. MILDMAYasked whether there is any intention of proceeding with the work of providing a coal depot at Turnchapel?
§ Mr. McKENNAAfter full consideration, it has been decided that it is better for the rapid and economical handling of coal to place the depot at the Keyham North Yard instead of at Turnchapel.
§ Mr. MILDMAYDoes the right hon. Gentleman feel at liberty to say to what purpose this land and wharf which have been acquired by the Admiralty are intended to be devoted, and whether considerable expenditure had not already been incurred upon this coal wharf before the reversal of policy?
§ Mr. McKENNAI could not say how much expenditure, but certainly some, was incurred. I do not myself know for what purpose the land was to be used, but I will inquire.
