HC Deb 02 December 1936 vol 318 c1235
16. Miss WARD

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any decision has been come to with regard to the reengining of two of His Majesty's battleships, which was foreshadowed last July?

Sir S. HOARE

Tenders for the reengining of two battleships were received a few days ago, and are now under consideration. It is hoped to reach a decision very shortly.
