§ 29. Lieut.-Commander Fletcherasked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government has yet reached any agreement with the Government of the United States on the size of battleships and heavy guns; and, if so, what steps he proposes to take to secure Japan's agreement not to exceed these maximum figures?
§ The Prime MinisterI regret that I am at present not in a position to add anything to the reply given to the hon. Member for Aberdare (Mr. G. Hall) on 15th June. I understand, however, that my right hon. Friend the First Lord of the Admiralty will make a statement on the subject at a very early date.
