HC Deb 29 January 1913 vol 47 c1346W
Mr. FALLE

asked the Prime Minister if he will give an assurance that none of the money offered by the Federated Malay States will be spent until this House has had an opportunity of accepting or declining that offer?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The offer has, as the House knows, already been accepted by the Government, the contract has been settled, and the construction of the vessel will be at once proceeded with. I am confident that the House will support the Government in taking these steps.
