§ Mr. HOUSTONasked the Secretary to the Admiralty the total number of British and foreign war and merchant vessels which are now under repair, or awaiting repair, in the United Kingdom, and their aggregate tonnage?
313W
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI cannot undertake to give the particulars asked for as regards British and foreign warships. As regards merchant vessels, I have not had time to consult those who can advise me as to whether it is desirable to give these figures. If my hon. Friend will put his question on this point down again next week, I will have the matter gone into further.
