HC Deb 03 June 1913 vol 53 c790
83. Captain FABER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he has made any attempt to buy the Turkish "Dreadnoughts" now in course of construction in this country; and whether he can make any statement concerning those ships?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)

My right hon. Friend has nothing to add to his former statements on this subject.

Captain FABER

Is it a fact that the first instalment on these ships has been paid?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I cannot answer that.
