HC Deb 07 August 1913 vol 56 c1746
54. Mr. STEWART

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty where the two river gunboats promised to the China station, and estimated for last year, are being constructed; and when the keels were laid down?

Dr. MACNAMARA

These vessels have not yet been laid down, but, as I informed the hon. Member on the 28th of last month, it is intended that they should be ready in the early part of 1915.
