HC Deb 06 July 1910 vol 18 cc1614-5
Mr. DOUGLAS HALL

asked whether any requests had been received from the self-governing Colonies at the Admiralty for the use by them of obsolete warships for the purpose of training ships; and whether, in view of the number of warships no longer on the effective list, the Admiralty could see their way to lend some of these ships to the Colonies for this purpose?

Mr. McKENNA

The "Rainbow" is being purchased by the Canadian Government for service as a training ship and for fishery supervision. No other application has been received recently.
