HC Deb 13 November 1912 vol 43 cc1962-3
5. Captain FABER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what steps he proposes to take in order to keep the Mediterranean Fleet supreme, and at the same time to guarantee the country in home waters; and whether he is satisfied with the present building programme?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I have nothing to add to the full statement I made to the House in July last.

Captain FABER

How many "Dreadnoughts" are now in full commission?

Mr. CHURCHILL

That has nothing to do with the question, but I shall be very glad to give the information.
