HC Deb 29 June 1909 vol 7 cc220-1
Captain FABER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will state whether, when His Majesty's ship "Hermes" recently went into Trincomalee for repairs, there were no straps or bellows available owing to their having been sold?

Mr. McKENNA

His Majesty's ship "Hermes" has not been at Triucomalee recently, or at any time since October, 1906.

Captain FABER

When she was there in 1906 was this the case?

Mr. McKENNA

I will inquire further.

Captain FABER

This would be one of the forts which is now dismantled, would it not?

Mr. McKENNA

Yes.
