§ 21. Viscount CURZONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty what ships of the all-big-gun type the Admiralty are proposing to scrap; whether their decision has been considered by the Committee of Imperial Defence; and if they concur with the Admiralty decision?
§ Mr. LONGThe following ships of the all-big-gun type are not required for the post-War Fleet; but the method of their disposal is not yet settled:—"Agincourt," "Bellerophon," "Dreadnought," "Superb," "Inflexible," "Indomitable." The remainder are all included in the post-War Fleet. The reply to the second part of my hon. and gallant Friend's question is in the negative, and the last part of the question does not therefore arise.
