§ 18. Viscount CURZONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the subject of relative strength and disposition of the post-War Fleet, together with the naval shipbuilding programme of the future, will be considered by the Committee of Imperial Defence?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Long)It is obvious that the strength of the British Navy must enter into the considerations of the Imperial Defence Committee.
§ Viscount CURZONMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he can, as soon as possible, give us some information as to what the requirements of the post-War Fleet are, as so far we have no means of coming to any idea on the subject?
§ Mr. LONGFull information is published in the statement communicated to the House, and in the statement I have made. I do not know what else the Noble Lord wants.
