HC Deb 25 May 1932 vol 266 c341
10. Mr. CHORLTON

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is yet able to report progress with the development of the high-power light-weight oil engine for propelling warships?

Sir B. EYRES MONSELL

I regret that I am not yet in a position to report progress.

Mr. KIRKWOOD

Is there any truth in the statement which is being made that German engines are being experimented with by the Admiralty at the moment?

Sir B. EYRES MONSELL

I do not think that arises out of the question.
