21. Sir BERTRAM FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can give any particulars of the trials of His Majesty's Ship "Acheron," torpedo-boat destroyer, as regards her speed and fuel economy?

Mr. AMMON

On the full power trial of His Majesty's Ship "Acheron" a mean speed of 35.3 knots with 34,400 shaft horse power was attained. The consumption of fuel was at the rate of 0.608 lbs. per shaft horse-power hour.

Sir CHARLES CAYZER

Can the hon. Member say what was the contract speed of this vessel?

Mr. AMMON

I am afraid I cannot.
