HC Deb 10 April 1907 vol 172 c208
MR. NUTTALL (Lancashire, Stretford)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty the total estimated cost of the nine battleships and ton armoured cruisers which, as stated in the Navy Estimates, will be completed by 1909; and whether the nine battleships include four ships of the "Dreadnought" type, but exclude the three ships of that type the construction of which it is proposed shall be commenced this year.

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

The total cost is approximately £29,000,000. The reply to the second part of the Question is in the affirmative.
