§ 71. Sir C. Cayzerasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty the amounts which will be contributed to the upkeep of the Royal Navy by the self-governing Dominions during the current year, taking into account both contributions in the form of the provision or maintenance of ships or of naval bases?
§ Mr. ShakespeareCanada, the Commonwealth of Australia and the Union of South Africa each maintain their own naval service and will not make any contribution during the current year to the Royal Navy itself. New Zealand's contribution to naval defence is to maintain a division of the Royal Navy. The expenditure of the Dominions upon naval defence is shown in the volume of estimates which each publishes annually.
