§ Captain FAIRFAXasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the fact that the Admiralty are now offering for disposal an ex-German floating dock lying in sections at Chatham, and that it is proposed to spend considerable sums to render Malta Dockyard capable of docking bulged battleships, he has considered, or will consider, utilising this ex-German floating dock either at Malta or at Singapore with a view to economy?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI would remind my hon. and gallant Friend that four large floating clocks were handed over to this country by Germany. One was sold. Two will be utilised at Malta and Singapore respectively The fourth is surplus to present requirements, and it is therefore in the interest of economy to dispose of it.
