HC Deb 28 June 1933 vol 279 cc1472-3
10. Mr. DAVID GRENFELL

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what is the estimated expense in the present financial year of running His Majesty's Ship "Centurion" as a fleet target ship with the attendant destroyer His Majesty's Ship "Shikari"?

Sir B. EYRES MONSELL

The estimated expense in the present financial year of running these two vessels is £50,200.

Mr. GRENFELL

Has the Admiralty any scientific means of registering the accuracy of firing without this expense?

Sir B. EYRES MONSELL

We conaider it is the best practical experiment.
