§ Mr. BURGOYNEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will state the trial speeds on their full-power runs of the destroyers "Maori," "Nubian," "Viking," "Zulu," and "Saracen," and the maximum velocity attained on the measured mile in each case?
§ Mr. McKENNAIt is undesirable to give the precise figures, but in every case the contract speed was reached.
§ Mr. BURGOYNEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that he recently gave me exactly similar information to that which he is now asked to give?
§ Mr. McKENNAPossibly, but I am advised that it is desirable to exercise even more prudence than we have done in the past in this matter.
