HC Deb 22 April 1914 vol 61 cc897-8
2. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any decision had yet been arrived at with regard to the use of detachable buoys on submarines while exercising at sea?

Dr. MACNAMARA

It has been decided that no change should be made in the existing practice.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Is not the right hon. Gentleman prepared to make some use of these buoys in future as regards submarines?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The answer I have-given is that of expert naval opinion.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

I am sorry, but I disagree with the right hon. Gentleman.
