HC Deb 29 July 1910 vol 19 c2661W
Mr. GEORGE YOUNGER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what steps have been taken to provide an adequate supply of oil fuel for the Navy; and whether, having regard to the recent discoveries of petroleum in Trinidad, he is keeping in view the propriety of securing supplies from that source?

Mr. McKENNA

With regard to the first part of the question, I trust that the hon. Member will appreciate that it would not be in the interests of the public service to furnish the information asked for. With regard to the second part of the question, all likely sources of supply, including Trinidad, are kept in view.
