§ 16. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked how many of His Majesty's ships are undergoing repairs or docking in private yards?
§ Dr. MACNAMARANone of His Majesty's ships are at present undergoing repairs or docking in private yards. Three Admiralty trawlers are, however, in hand at a private yard in Brightlingsea fitting out for transfer to the National Fishery Scheme. Three old cruisers ("Leviathan," "Minotaur," and "Duke of Edinburgh") are also having guns, etc., removed at the Humber—where they are lying—preparatory to sale and transfer to purchasers. This work will all be completed before the end of April.
