HC Deb 23 April 1909 vol 3 cc1868-9W
Mr. MIDDLEMORE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the speed of the destroyers of this year's programme will be 35 knots, according to Lord Tweedmouth's unfulfilled announcement as to the destroyers of last year's programme; if their speed is not to be 35 knots, what will it be; and will he state their displacement and armament?

Mr. McKENNA

The design of the destroyers of this year's programme is under consideration.
