HC Deb 05 November 1909 vol 12 cc2246-7W
Mr. GRETTON

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if any docks capable of receiving a modern battleship of the "Dreadnought" type are under construction in Great Britain; and, if so, will he state the number, and where situated?

Mr. McKENNA

There are four graving docks and two floating docks capable of receiving a modern battleship of the "Dreadnought" class, which are under construction in Great Britain or whose construction is in immediate contemplation, with possibly two more in the latter category.
