§ Mr. FELLasked how much has been expended in the construction of docks by the Government for the first-class battleships during the past ten years; and how much has been expended by Germany on the same object in the same period?
Mr. LAMBERTThe separation of actual expenditure on docks from that on contingent works such as basins, pumping stations, and many other large items, is a matter of such difficulty that it is not possible to give the comparative figures asked for by the hon. Member.
