HC Deb 14 April 1937 vol 322 c986
16. Mr. Storey

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any of His Majesty's ships will visit North-east coast ports during the Coronation celebrations?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty (Lord Stanley)

The answer is in the negative. The Home Fleet, with the exception of a few destroyers which will be visiting Harwich, Dover and Southampton, will be at Southend and in the Thames from 7th to 13th May. As the Home Fleet is proceeding to Spithead for the Coronation Review immediately after this visit, I am afraid that it is impossible to arrange for visits to more distant ports at this period.

Mr. Storey

Will they make a visit to the North-east coast later in the year?
