HC Deb 17 April 1930 vol 237 cc3081-2
45. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Prime Minister whether, in discussing the so-called Safeguard Clause in the Three-Power Naval Treaty to allow for additional warship building for the Royal Navy, in the event of accelerated shipbuilding by the Continental nations, the strength of the French and Italian navies in combination is to be considered?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

The Clause will not be aimed at any special fleet or combination of fleets.
