§ Mr. HERBERT CRAIGasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the abandonment of the Canadian Navy scheme by the present Canadian Government, the acquisition by the Canadian Government of H.M.S. "Aboukir" will now be carried out?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Churchill)My hon. Friend is under a misapprehension, as no proposal for the purchase of the "Aboukir" was made by the Canadian Government.
§ Viscount CASTLEREAGHHave there been any proposals from the Canadian Government for the purpose of acquiring any ship?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLYes, there was a proposal in connection with another vessel and that matter is in suspense.
