§ 37. Mr. GRETTONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if one of the dirigible balloon sheds at Farnborough, after being taken over by the Admiralty from the War Office, was found to be of insufficient height; if the shed is being raised by the Admiralty; and if he can state the probable cost of the necessary alterations?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Churchill)The airship sheds at Farnborough are only intended to house small ships for training purposes. It is under consideration to remove these sheds to another site, and if this is done, it may be found convenient to slightly alter and improve them at the same time.
§ Mr. GRETTONIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that workmen employed by the War Office are engaged in finishing one end of the sheds while workmen employed by the Admiralty are engaged at the other end razing them, and, if not, will he make inquiries?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI will, indeed, inquire if anything of that nature is taking place.
