HC Deb 29 July 1909 vol 8 cc1353-4
Mr. MIDDLEMORE

asked how many battleships, built or building, and displacing 15,000 tons or over, are there in the British, United States, German, and French navies?

Mr. McKENNA

I must refer the hon. Gentleman to the Dilke Return, in which he will find the information for which he asks.

Mr. MIDDLEMORE

Will the right hon. Gentleman guarantee the accuracy of the Dilke Return to-day, on 29th July; and, again, will he guarantee its accuracy even a day after it is published? I hope he will guarantee it. Does he guarantee it?

Mr. SPEAKER

That hardly arises out of the question.
