12. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that boat oars supplied for use in His Majesty's ships are manufactured in the United States of America; and will he explain why these oars are Rot made in the Royal dockyards?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I am investigating this matter and hope to be able to give an answer to the hon. and gallant Member in a few days' time.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Next Wednesday?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Yes.
