§ Mr. MIDDLEMOREasked what sum of money has been spent upon repairs to, and modifications of, the furnaces of the destroyers "Cossack," "Tartar," and "Mohawk," since they were first commissioned; and whether such repairs or modifications were due to the exclusive use of oil fuel?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe figures are:—
| £ | ||||
| "Cossack" | … | … | … | 520 |
| "Tartar" | … | … | … | 1,010 |
| "Mohawk" | … | … | … | 845 |
§ As regards the last part of the question, although oil fuel only is used in the boilers of these ships, the repairs and modifications required were due to fair wear.
