HC Deb 13 March 1913 vol 50 c419
75. Mr. BURGOYNE

asked whether the eight scouts withdrawn from service in the autumn of last year for rearming have yet been taken in hand; and, if not, will he state the reason of the delay and when it is hoped this rearming will be completed?

Mr. CHURCHILL

All the vessels are in hand, and most of them are being retubed at the same time as rearming is carried out. They are all due for completion by the end of June.
