§ 73. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty the date on which the Fleet was mobilised for the summer manœuvres in 1914, and the date on which it was intended to demobilise?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe test mobilisation in 1914 was arranged for the period 15th July to 25th July, 1914.
§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEThen the question cannot arise that the Fleet was mobilised on the 1st and 2nd August, because the Fleet was already mobilised?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAWhat does arise is the answer I have given, namely, that it was intended to demobilise on 25th July, 1914.
§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEIf the right hon. Gentleman will allow me
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member has had a very plain answer to a specific question. I ask him to ask the next question.
