§ 18. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the new battleships, His Majesty's Ship "Nelson" and His Majesty's Ship "Rodney," and the new county class cruisers carry aircraft or are to carry them?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThese ships do not at present carry aircraft but will be fitted with catapults later. "Nelson" and "Rodney" will each carry two aircraft and the county class cruisers one aircraft each.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYWhat is the reason for the delay in fitting the ships that are completed?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI would like notice of that question.
