§ 43. Mr. DOUGLAS HALLasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the obsolete warships moored off Ryde are a danger and hindrance to the navigation of the steamers plying between Portsmouth and Ryde in foggy weather; and whether he can see his way to have them removed to some more suitable anchorage?
Mr. LAMBERTNo complaint has been received since the warships referred to have been moored on the Motherbank. It is not considered that they are a hindrance to navigation.
