HC Deb 02 July 1924 vol 175 c1343W
Major HORE-BELISHA

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether the Royal dockyards will be allowed to tender for the 10,000-ton cruiser that the Australian Government has announced its intention of building in England?

Mr. HODGES

In the event of it being decided by Australia to build a 10,000-ton cruiser in Great Britain, in the near future, no suitable building slips will be available in the home dockyards.
