HC Deb 31 July 1911 vol 29 c19
Mr. FELL

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will state the reason for the delay in the completion of the dirigible balloon at Barrow; and if he anticipates that it will be ready for any trial trips this autumn?

Mr. McKENNA

It is expected that the airship will be ready for trials almost immediately; the ship is experimental and no unnecessary delays have occurred.

Mr. FELL

Was not an almost identical answer given two months ago?

Mr. McKENNA

If the hon. Gentleman will look at the previous answer he will be able to perceive for himself.
