40. Sir P. GOFF

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty to what extent electric welding is being carried out in naval construction at present?

Lord STANLEY

The extent to which electric welding is being used at present in British naval construction varies with the experience of the dockyard or firm concerned. It is the intention to increase the use of welding to the greatest practicable amount.
