To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if he is in a position to give any further information with regard to orders for the armour required for the dockyard-built battleship and cruiser included in the naval programme of the current financial year.

(Answered by Mr. Arnold-Forsfer.) Tenders have been invited, and are now under consideration, in respect of the greater part of the armour for the dockyard-built battleship. Tenders for the remainder of this armour, and also for the armour for the dockyard-built cruiser, will be invited shortly.
