HC Deb 26 June 1939 vol 349 c31
64. Commander Bower

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether the British naval forces in Far Eastern waters will be increased by such capital ships as can be spared from European commands?

Colonel Llellewin

The strength of British naval forces throughout the world receives the constant attention of His Majesty's Government. It is not in the public interest to disclose the future disposition of the Fleet.
