§ 25. Sir W. DAVISONasked the Prime Minister what is the estimated value of commercial and naval ships and airships which were to be handed over to the Allies under the Treaty of Versailles which have been wilfully and maliciously destroyed by the Germans; what was the estimated share of Great Britain in the property destroyed; and what additional reparation has been secured in lieu of the property thus wilfully destroyed?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Lloyd George)There has been no destruction of naval ships since the Treaty of Versailles. With regard to airships destroyed, their value cannot be accurately estimated until the plans have been surrendered, but the airships will either be replaced, or compensation exacted in some other form.
