§ Lord CHARLES BERESFORDasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, owing to orders received from the Admiralty by wireless, the Fleet, assembled at Tor Bay after the manœuvres, left so hastily for Weymouth that 60 tons of fresh beef provided for the Fleet were left on shore; and can he inform the House why the above order was given?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo information on this subject has reached the Admiralty. If the Noble Lord will give me particulars of the matter to which he refers, I will have inquiry made; but he must be aware that the movements of fleets engaged in exercises are sometimes unexpected.
