HC Deb 24 October 1906 vol 163 cc185-6
MR. BELLAIRS (Lynn Regis)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the attention of the Board has been directed to the fact that the War Office is about to issue a work called the Army Book of the British Empire, setting forth our military policy as pursued by the nation since 1870; whether the Admiralty are co-operating; and whether the Admiralty are prepared to undertake the issue of a similar work, explaining the naval policy of the country for a number of years, and notably the new policy of 1906 in regard to the standard of naval strength.

THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. EDMUND ROBERTSON,) Dundee

I understand that the War Office is preparing a revised edition of the Army Book of the British Empire which was published in 1893, but no request for co-operation in this work has been received. The answer to the last part of the Question is in the negative.
