HC Deb 26 July 1898 vol 62 c1337
SIR W. LAWSON

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether Her Majesty's Government have made any communication to any of the great Powers suggesting the advisability of some plan of mutual disarmament on land and sea?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

No communication of the kind recommended by the honourable Baronet has been made by this Government; nor do I think it could be made with any hope of a successful result.
