HC Deb 20 March 1918 vol 104 c1008W
Mr. BYRNE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Shipping if he will state the number of interned enemy and Russian ships in Great Britain and Ireland that have not been used since the outbreak of war; why they are not being used; and if he is aware that there is a sailing ship in Canal Basin, convenient to Westland Row station, Dublin, that has not been used for the past three years?

Sir L. CHIOZZA MONEY

I am not aware of any interned enemy or Russian ships in British ports which are capable of being used in the war zone and have not been so used since the outbreak of war. With regard to the last part of the question, inquiries are being made regarding the small sailing vessel in Dublin to which the hon. Member refers.
