Mr. BURGOYNE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the battleship "Hibernia" was recently forced to put into Brest Harbour as the result of a breakdown, and what was the exact amount of damage?

No breakdown, has been reported. The vessel put into Brest to repair damage to the net shelf, but the details have not yet been received.
