HC Deb 14 March 1912 vol 35 c1271
Mr. BURGOYNE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is the intention of the Admiralty to station a floating dock for destroyers at Portland; and, if so, when?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Tenders are about to be invited, but it is not possible at this date to say when the dock will be delivered.
