§ 23. Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he has considered the desirability of abolishing the submarine if all other countries agreed to adopt this course?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe attitude of His Majesty's Government on this subject remains the same as originally enunciated by Lord Lee of Fareham at the Washington Conference in 1921 when he urged the abolition of the submarine. This attitude was re-affirmed by me in Plenary Session at the recent Naval Conference at Geneva.
