§ Mr. VERNEYasked what were the net and gross tonnage of the German Imperial Navy in the years 1870, 1880, 1890, and 1909, or part of that time; and further what were the gross and net tonnage of the British Royal Navy in the years 1870, 1880, 1890, and 1909, or for part of that time?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. McKenna)I regret that I have not the information available, but I could have a return made of the displacement tonnage for effective fighting ships, if that would meet my hon. Friend's wishes.
