§ Captain Kerbyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty why work on the modernisation of the maintenance ship H.M.S. "Mull of Kintyre" has been suspended; and to what extent the funds available for the completion of modernisation under the 1958–59 Estimates were insufficient for this purpose.
Mr. C. Ian On-EwingModernisation of H.M.S. "Mull of Kintyre" has had to be suspended temporarily because of the demands of higher priority work which the Dockyard was required to undertake during 1958–59, primarily to meet operational commitments.
