HC Deb 07 August 1913 vol 56 cc1747-8
57. Major ARCHER-SHEE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the works under construction at North Killingholme are near completion; and if the ground has been found suitable for the construction of tanks to contain large quantities of weighty fuel?

Mr. LAMBERT (Civil Lord of the Admiralty)

The works under construction at Killingholme are due for competition, during 1914. The foundations are known to be on marsh, land, and, in accordance with Admiralty experience and practice at similar sites, provision is made in the contract for lifting and rebedding tanks as may be necessary.
