HC Deb 10 May 1911 vol 25 c1187
Mr. BURGOYNE

asked whether the launch of the Colonial battleship-cruisers has been postponed; and, if so, on what date it is now proposed to set her afloat?

Mr. McKENNA

If the hon. Member refers to the Colonial cruisers "Australia" and "New Zealand," the actual dates for the launch of these vessels have not definitely been decided. The approximate dates are, "Australia" towards the end of October, and "New Zealand" in July.
