HC Deb 05 April 1911 vol 23 cc2183-4
Mr. BURGOYNE

asked whether the two submarines to be constructed for the Commonwealth Navy had yet been ordered; to what type they belong; and when the third of the trio provided for in the complete unit is to be built?

Mr. McKENNA

The two submarines for the Commonwealth Navy have been ordered, and belong to the type approved for the 1910–11 programme. With regard to the last part of the question no decision has yet been made.
