§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can give the numbers of armour-piercing and common shell or, failing that, the total number of salvoes fired by each capital ship at the Battle of Jutland, distinguishing the ships belonging to the Rosyth force, the remainder of the battle-cruiser squadron, and the twenty-four battleships brought into the battle under Lord Jellicoe after six o'clock; and whether he can state the time when the German battle-fleet was last seen by the battle-cruiser squadron?
§ Mr. LONGAs the official record of the Battle of Jutland is now being compiled by an officer especially detailed for the purpose (Captain Harper), it is considered undesirable to publish portions in advance until the whole has been completed and checked.
