HC Deb 22 July 1909 vol 8 cc745-6W
Mr. PIKE PEASE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if, in making his announcement as to the construction of the four new ships contingently sanctioned in the Naval Estimates, he can arrange to state his proposals as to the concurrent increase of personnel?

Mr. McKENNA

As the Vote for ship construction is Vote 8, and the Vote relating to the personnel is Vote A, it must be a question for the Chair whether the limits of the discussion on Vote 8 would permit of discussion on Vote A.
