HC Deb 10 February 1926 vol 191 c1026
40. Sir ROBERT HAMILTON

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the small boat in which the late Lord Kitchener and the late Colonel Fitzgerald left the "Hampshire" on 5th June, 1916, has been purchased by a private individual; and whether this boat can be acquired by the Admiralty as a national relic?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I should be obliged if The hon. and gallant Member would repeat his question in a week's time, when I hope the inquiries I am making will be completed.

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

Is this a part of the Government's economy scheme?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I have not given any answer as to what the Government propose to do.
