HC Deb 28 March 1911 vol 23 c1139
Mr. WHELER

asked whether, in the event of one of the floating docks now under construction being removed to Rosyth, the Admiralty propose to replace the dock moved by another capable of containing a "Dreadnought"?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The large floating docks now under construction are not due for completion until late in the year. There is no present intention of removing either of the floating docks to Rosyth.

Mr. WHELER

Did not the First Lord of the Admiralty in his statement mention the fact that possibly one of these docks would be removed to Rosyth?

Dr. MACNAMARA

That is a fact. The First Lord of the Admiralty said on 16th March that possibly one or other will be ultimately removed to Rosyth. What I have said now is perfectly consistent with the fact that there is no present intention of removing either of the floating docks to Rosyth.
