HC Deb 19 May 1915 vol 71 c2348W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any use has been, or is being, made of the Admiralty yacht "Enchantress" and of the royal yachts for the purposes of the War; and whether a large number of similar vessels have been bought or hired for various purposes of the War?

Mr. CHURCHILL

His Majesty's yachts, with the King's approval, and the Admiralty yacht "Enchantress," are being kept available as hospitals for wounded officers in case of need. In accordance with the mobilisation arrangements of the Admiralty, these vessels were paid off on the outbreak of war and their officers and men joined the fighting fleet.
