HC Deb 09 February 1911 vol 21 c570W
Mr. ROBERT HARCOURT

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will state when the "Orion," "Colossus," "Hercules," and "Lion" will be ready for trials; and when the "Princess Royal," "Monarch," and "Conqueror" will be launched?

Mr. McKENNA

The "Orion" and "Lion" will, it is expected, be ready for first steam trials some time in the months of June and August respectively; the "Colossus" and "Hercules" in the month of April. The "Princess Royal" and "Conqueror" will, it is anticipated, be launched in April, and the "Monarch" possibly towards the end of March.
