HC Deb 09 May 1923 vol 163 cc2327-8
22. Mr. BECKER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will give figures showing how many torpedoes were built for the Navy in the years 1920, 1921, and 1922; and will he give the cost of building one torpedo?

Commander EYRES-MONSELL

It would not be in the public interest to give the numbers asked for. The cost of making a torpedo is approximately £2,000.
