HC Deb 08 January 1913 vol 46 c1166
13. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked at what date the Government adopted the policy of putting an end to naval rivalry between Germany and this country by proving that we cannot be overtaken in our programme of naval construction?

Mr. CHURCHILL

There does not appear to be any necessity for entering upon these general matters at Question Time.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

The right hon. Gentleman made the statement before a very large audience at the Guildhall only last November. Does he, under these circumstances, consider that he cannot give me a reply in the House of Commons?
