HC Deb 26 March 1913 vol 50 c1621
12. Sir JOHN LONSDALE

asked if the sending of the "Swiftsure" to replace the "Highflyer" on the East India station marks a change of policy; and if it is intended to send a battleship to Hong Kong?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Sir, we think it is a good arrangement. The "Triumph" is going to Hong Kong in reserve.
