HC Deb 16 March 1911 vol 22 cc2577-8W
Mr. CHIOZZA MONEY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will say, for the years 1910 and 1911, and if possible for 1912, 1913, and 1914, the number of capital ships which have passed or will pass, out of commission in pursuance of the policy of substituting "Dreadnoughts" for vessels of older type?

Mr. McKENNA

The figures asked for by my hon. Friend are as follows:—

In 1910 … … Two battleships
In 1911 … … Seven battleships

It is not possible to give a forecast of the ships passing out of commission after the present year.
