HC Deb 29 July 1910 vol 19 cc2523-4
Mr. GRETTON

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, how many shipbuilding slips, including both the Royal dockyards' and contractors' slips, would be occupied as at present arranged by warships of the "Dreadnought" and "Invincible" classes building or laid down for the Royal Navy; and how many contractors' slips in the United Kingdom are occupied by similar vessels building for other purposes than the Royal Navy which it was known would not be launched before the 1st April, 1911?

The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. McKenna)

I regret I have not yet received the material which would enable me to answer this question.

Mr. GRETTON

Will the right hon. Gentleman send me a reply?

Mr. McKENNA

Certainly.
