23. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can arrange for the two mine-sweepers it is proposed to construct to be laid down in Devonport dockyard?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

I regret that I am unable to give the undertaking asked for by the hon. Gentleman.

Have the Admiralty any plan formulated for laying down these mine-sweepers?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

The policy has already been settled.
