HC Deb 25 March 1914 vol 60 c347
1. Mr. FELL

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what is the sum to be contributed by India towards the upkeep of the Navy during the present year?

The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Churchill)

The sum to be contributed by the Government of India during the current financial year towards the upkeep of the Navy is £164,000.

Mr. FELL

Is not that the same sum as last year, and does the right hon. Gentleman consider it adequate?

Colonel YATE

Has the question yet been settled whether the vessels of the Indian Marine are to be armed or not?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I must have notice of that question.
