HC Deb 27 April 1910 vol 17 cc422-3
Mr. ASHLEY

asked how many battleships of the "Dreadnought" type were now in full commission; and how many were taking part in the combined exercises?

Mr McKENNA

The reply to the first part of the question is six—and to the second part, two.

Mr. ASHLEY

Arising out of that reply—

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Gentleman must really exercise some restraint. There are 125 questions on the Paper to be got through in three-quarters of an hour. The hon. Gentleman has asked certainly one if not two supplementary questions on every question he has put.
