DOCKYARD WORK. (Hansard, 11 December 1929)

§ 22. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE
asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the forthcoming Five-Power Naval Conference, dockyard construction and extension is being suspended elsewhere than at Singapore?

Mr. ALEXANDER
No other dockyard work of this character is in hand at present.

§ Rear-Admiral BEAMISH
Will the suspension of work at Singapore be reviewed by the Five-Power Naval Conference?

Mr. ALEXANDEP
That question does not arise.

§ Rear-Admiral BEAMISH
It is actually in the question.

§ Mr. SPEAKER
That does not arise.

§ Rear-Admiral BEAMISH
In view of the persistent doubts in the minds of everybody, and in view of the fact that the Five-Power Naval Conference is a national and not a party question, will the First Lord ask the Prime Minister to make a statement?

§ Mr. SPEAKER
That does not arise.
