10. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked whether the alterations now being carried out to H.M.S. "Repulse" and "Renown" will reduce their speed; if so, to what extent, approximately; whether the alterations will decrease their radius of action; and, if so, to what extent, approximately?

Mr. LONG

The alterations in these ships will result in a small decrease in speed and radius of action; but it is not in the public interest to state the exact amount.
