HC Deb 09 February 1911 vol 21 c448
Mr. STANIER

asked whether the crew of H.M.S. "King Edward VII." is at full strength or only nucleus; and how many more of the ships of this class have their crews on the nucleus scale?

Mr. McKENNA

H.M.S. "King Edward VII." and the remainder of the class have full crews, with the exception of the "Commonwealth," which is in dockyard hands, and at the end of her refit will re-commission with a nucleus crew. Further, the "Africa" will reduce to nucleus crew in a few days' time.
