HC Deb 21 April 1953 vol 514 c48W
Dr. Bennett

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can yet say at what hour of what day the main units will be taking up their berths in Spithead for the Naval Review: and at what hour of what day they will proceed to sea from those berths.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

The Review Fleet will begin to assemble on 9th June and the majority of the ships will be in their berths by 12 th June. Most of the ships will leave Spithead during the afternoon of Tuesday, 16th June. I regret that I am unable to give a more specific reply at present.
