§ MR. BELLAIRS (Lynn Regis)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, with the statement of the details of vessels now under construction, which is to be issued prior to the discussion of Votes 8 and 9 of Navy Estimates, there will be included details of the four armoured ships which the House is to be asked to sanction; and whether he can now say how many of these armoured ships are to be battleships.
(Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) I am not in a position to make any statement, as the subject is now under consideration.
