§ Mr. HUNTasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether in view of the official notification that the German warship "Zieten" will be stationed at Lerwick, the capital town of the Shetland Islands, from 24th June until further notice, it is the usual custom of Foreign warships to be stationed for an indefinite time at a British port; and whether Germany allows British warships to be stationed at Heligoland or other German ports?
§ Mr. McKENNAIt is understood that the "Zieten" is engaged on fishery service, and there is nothing unusual in her remaining at Lerwick till further notice.
§ Mr. McKENNAOur ships are stationed frequently at Heligoland whenever the exigencies of the service require. There is no difficulty in having our ships at suitable stations.
