HC Deb 09 March 1910 vol 14 c1594W
Mr. BURGOYNE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty yacht is maintained by the nation solely for use upon official work?

Mr. McKENNA

I understand that in recent times the general practice has been that when the Admiralty yacht has been used official purposes have been in view. I daresay the hon. Member, who is a great student of naval history, could find many instances during the last hundred years when the official purpose was not directly apparent.
