HC Deb 02 April 1913 vol 51 c363
13. Lord C. BERESFORD

asked what is the comparative expenditure on Naval Artillery and ammunition in Great Britain and Germany from 1904–5 to 1912–13?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Owing to the form in which this information in the German Estimates comprises expenditure both for ships and for coast defences, it is impossible to separate the portion which is comparable with British figures from that which is not.
