§ 82. Brigadier-General SURTEESasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the amount of the Navy Estimates, he will present to Parliament an analysis of the table in the White Paper, Navy Estimates for the year 1919–20, showing precisely what are Peace Estimates and what are War Estimates, that is to say, what amounts apply exclusively to peace conditions and what amounts represent commitments arising out of the War?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)My hon. and gallant Friend will have taken note of the fact that we did our best yesterday in the Debate on the Vote on Account to give the Committee some analysis of the extent to which Navy Estimates in 1919–20 will have to bear war charges. We shall, of course, be in a better position to pursue the analysis more closely when the detailed Estimates for 1919–20 are submitted later.
