§ 30. Mr. RAMSBOTHAMasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is his intention to utilise the opportunity presented by the presence of the Dominion delegates to the Naval Conference in 2154 London to discuss the question of revising the contributions of the Dominions to Imperial Naval defence?
§ Mr. AMMONNo, Sir. A question of this nature would seem to be more appropriate to the agenda of an Imperial Conference.
Captain CROOOKSHANKMay we understand that the real reason is that the Government do not think that it would be tactful to raise this question, considering that they have "pinched" all the contributions for Singapore?
