§ Mr. SITCHasked the Secretary to the Admiralty if he is aware that quantities of old chains are being sent into the South Staffordshire district; whether the Admiralty Order, issued on the 19th March, 1894, to the home yards and Malta, directing how old chains returned from ships are to be dealt with, is still being enforced; and, if not, why this is not being done?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe Admiralty Order of 19th March, 1894, which refers to chain cable returned from ships, is still being enforced, and no case is known of departure therefrom. Perhaps my hon. Friend will furnish further details, so that further inquiry may be made.
