HC Deb 22 May 1911 vol 26 c8
Mr. BURGOYNE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, whether he has any information as to contracts having been entered into for the construction of capital ships for Turkey in this country; and, if so, whether he can give any particulars of the type of ship to be built, when they are to be commenced, and when completed?

Mr. McKENNA

Contracts have been provisionally entered into for the construction of two capital ships for Turkey in this country. I am unable to give any particulars of these ships, or to state when they are to be commenced or completed.
