§ 14. Sir FRANK MEYERasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, during the Geneva Conference for the limitation of armaments, any proposals were put forward on behalf of His Majesty's Government which would have entailed an increase of tonnage or a greater cost to this country as compared with the programme outlined by himself in his speech at the first plenary session, subsequently published as a White Paper [Cmd. 2964]?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Bridgeman)The answer is in the negative.
§ Sir F. MEYERIn that case can there be any justification whatever for the statement that our Government went to the Naval Disarmament Conference at Geneva with a programme of expansion, and is such a statement not likely to prejudice this country?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThat problem will be dealt with in the Debate tomorrow.
