§ Sir M. DOCKRELLasked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many patrol boats are now lying in Kingstown Harbour, and when they will be available for return to their pre-war uses?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThere are no patrol boats in Kingstown Harbour, but there are at the moment fourteen hired trawlers and drifters under the orders of the Commodore, Kingstown. Of these, one drifter is under orders to proceed to her reconditioning port. The remaining vessels should be free for release on 31st March, but owing to congestion at the reconditioning ports cannot be accommodated.
