HC Deb 09 June 1898 vol 58 c1172
MR. PIRIE (Aberdeen, N.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can state the amount expended in Naval Works during the five years from 1892 to 1897 in England, Scotland, and Ireland, respectively?

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. A. CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.

I am unable to say, as the accounts are not kept in such a form as to enable the distinction to be drawn.
