§ MR MIDDLEMOREI beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the difference in export opinion on the subject, he will consider the possibility of substituting a heavier anti-torpedo armament than is now carried by H.M.S. "Warrior," H.M.S. "Natal," H. M. S. "Achilles," and H. M. S. "Cochrane."
§ MR. MCKENNAThe Admiralty do not propose to make any change.
§ MR. MIDDLEMOREDO the Admiralty consider the present armament heavy enough to resist the attack of big torpedo vessels?
§ MR. MCKENNAI have explained that the Admiralty do not consider it in the public interest to give the information asked for.
