HC Deb 15 July 1909 vol 7 c2290
Mr. MIDDLEMORE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will grant a Return showing the coal capacity of British and German torpedo-boat destroyers, built and building, arranged in tabular form to show the number of vessels in the respective fleets with a capacity for more than 160 tons, 159–140 tons, 139–120 tons, 119–100 tons, 99–80 tons, 79–50 tons, and less than 50 tons?

Mr. McKENNA

We have not the official information with regard to foreign ships which would enable us to give the Return asked for.
