§ Mr. WEIRasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, in view of the fact that His 726 Majesty's fleet frequently visits Cromarty Firth and lies off Invergordon, where there is ample anchorage for the largest vessels afloat, will he again consider the expediency of establishing a floating dock off that town, seeing that it is on the main line of railway and in direct communication with both the North and South, and forms an excellent base for coaling and other purposes?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. McKenna)A floating dock would not at present be suitably placed in Cromarty Firth, owing to the absence of workshop facilities.
