Mr. DUNDAS WHITEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty how much of the naval expenditure of the present financial year is attributable to expenditure in connection with ships of the "Dreadnought" class?
§ Mr. McKENNAIt would not be possible to give a reliable estimate of the expenditure on the class generally, inasmuch as the charges referred to, including wages, victualling, etc., are spread over practically all the Votes of the Estimates and are not earmarked as relating to any particular class of ships.
