§ Mr. N. M'LEANasked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether instructions have been issued to suspend work upon a number of destroyers at present in course of construction in shipyards on the Clyde; and whether this suspension is only temporary, and when orders will be issued to complete those vessels?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe work on certain destroyers building on the Clyde has been suspended, and it is hoped that it will be found possible to cancel these vessels without undue dislocation of work in hand by the shipbuilders concerned.
