§ MR. W. ALLAN (Gateshead)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty what is the total amount taken in this year's Navy Estimates for construction of new ships; and whether it is more or less than the amount taken in 1892–3; if so, by how much?
*SIR U. KAY-SIIUTTLEWORTHThe present Board of Admiralty have proposed in their Estimates to spend £2,393,731, on new construction, or £81,110 more than the cash provision for now construction in the Estimates of last year.
§ MR. HANBURY (Preston)Can the right hon. Gentleman say what any other two Navies—say the Russian and Gorman—are having spent on them this year in new construction?
