HC Deb 14 February 1927 vol 202 cc536-7
2. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India if he can now state what progress is being made in the development of the Indian Navy?

Lord STANLEY

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer given to a similar question on the 15th November. Pending the introduction of a Bill in Parliament, the details of the organisation of the Royal Indian Navy are now being worked out, and considerable progress is being made.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Can the Noble Lord say when he proposes to introduce the Bill?

Lord STANLEY

It is hoped that the Bill will be introduced this Session.
