§ 25. Mr. THURTLEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, since the signature of the Kellogg Peace Pact, the Board of Admiralty has given special consideration to the effect of this diplomatic event upon the naval policy of this country?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANYes, Sir.
§ Mr. THURTLEIn view of that reply, may I ask the First Lord, especially in view of his speech last night, when we may have some positive proof that the Kellogg Pact is affecting British naval policy?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI really do not know how I can satisfy the hon. Member on this subject.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYWill the proof be forthcoming in the next Navy Estimates?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANIf the impetuosity of the hon. and gallant Gentleman will restrain itself—
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYThe right hon. Gentleman need not be offensive. There is no question of impetuosity. I simply want to get on with questions.
§ Mr. AUSTIN HOPKINSONWill the Kellogg Pact have any effect at all upon the naval policy of Great Britain or anything else in the world?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThat is a matter of opinion.
