HC Deb 25 July 1893 vol 15 c479
LORD G. HAMILTON (Middlesex, Ealing)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty when he will be in a position to lay upon the Table of the House the full details of the new battleships and large cruisers to be laid down in 1893–4?

* THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Sir U. KAY-SHUTTLE-WORTH,) Lancashire, Clitheroe

The statement in regard to the new battleships will be laid upon the Table of the House very shortly. A similar statement as to the first-class cruisers may be delayed, as the details of the design have not yet been completed; but as full a description as practicable will be furnished before the Shipbuilding Vote is taken.
