§ MR. MIDDLEMOREI beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can give the date at which the next Navy Estimates will be presented.
§ MR. McKENNAThe Naval Estimates will be introduced next session at some time between the conclusion of the debate on the Address in reply to the King's Speech and the close of the financial year.
§ MR. MIDDLEMOREThis question has been somewhat truncated, unfortunately, but will the right hon. Gentleman give orders for the laving down of one or two battleships before the Estimates are laid before the House.
§ * MR. SPEAKERThat hardly arises not of the Question.
