HC Deb 30 March 1920 vol 127 c1071
49. Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH-COOKE

asked whether an offer of ships has been made to the Dominion Government of Canada, and has it been accepted; is he aware that the Government of Canada has ordered the demobilisation of the Canadian Naval organisation; that the dockyards at Esquimault and Halifax are to be dismantled and the "Niobe" and "Rainbow" to be sold; and can he say what provision is being made by Canada for repairing and reconditioning Naval ships?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I have no information as to the intention of the Canadian Government in the other matters referred to by my hon. Friend.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Does the right hon. Gentleman not think that some information should be forthcoming?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Yes, I do.
