HC Deb 16 March 1931 vol 249 c1681W
Mr. WEST RUSSELL

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty during what part of the current year it is expected that His Majesty's Ship "Challenger" will be engaged on fishery survey work; and in what areas it is proposed to operate?

Mr. AMMON

His Majesty's Ship "Challenger" is expected to complete in August, 1931. If so, it is proposed to employ her on fishery survey work during the months of September, October, November and December. The areas in which she will operate during that time are still a subject of discussion with the fishing industry.
