§ Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (for Lord Charles Beresford)asked what is the greatest length of time that any battle ship now in commission has been out of dry dock; what is the name of that battleship; what is the period of time beyond which it is not considered advisable for a battleship to remain with her bottom uncleaned; and what is the greatest length of time that any battleship docked since the beginning of last year has had to wait?
§ Mr. McKENNAI regret that the information asked for takes longer to obtain than the time available to enable the question to be answered to-day, and I would ask the Noble Lord to be good enough to postpone his question until Monday next.
