The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Sir Bolton Eyres Monsell)We have no information regarding the construction of a naval base at Sylt. There has been a commercial seaplane station on the island of Sylt for many years past, but no details are available.
§ Mr. COCKSIs the First Lord of the Admiralty quite certain that this base is purely a commercial one or is it in connection with the naval agreement with Germany? Will he ascertain further particulars?
