HC Deb 18 November 1919 vol 121 c340
11. Mr. LAMBERT

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what is the total cost of the "Hood"; and what sum hat been paid to contractors for breaking the contract for the building of similar ships?

The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Long)

The estimated finished cost of the "Hood," excluding guns, ammunition, and stores, is £5,025,000. Nothing has been paid to contractors for breaking the contract for the building of similar ships.

Mr. LAMBERT

Will the right hon. Gentleman say what is the total cost of the "Hood," including guns?

Mr. LONG

I cannot say that, of course, without notice.

Mr. LAMBERT

I have asked for it.
