HC Deb 29 September 1942 vol 383 c687W
Lieut.-Colonel Windsor Clive

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to give the name "Shropshir" to one of His Majesty's ships in replacement of the cruiser of that name which has been handed over to the Australian Government and renamed "Canberra"?

Captain Pilkington

The use of the name "Shropshire" will be considered when names are being chosen for new vessels of suitable types.
