The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Lord Stanley)The expenditure on maintenance and repairs to His Majesty's Ship "Curacoa" between 1st April, 1931, and 3rd December, 1932, was £18,366. She has several more years of effective life before her, during which she will perform her normal turn of duty.
Brigadier-General BROWNHas not this ship been kept in dock for the last six months and more or less examined; and has it not on two occasions been condemned, necessitating it going back for repairs, which will take a considerable time?
