HC Deb 03 March 1910 vol 14 cc1057-8W
Sir WILLIAM COLLINS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can state what progress had been made with the programme of building four large armoured ships of the latest type by the Italian Government?

Mr. McKENNA

According to the Italian Navy Estimates nearly £1,000,000 is to be spent on the "Dante Alighieri" by the end of June and £132,000 by the same date on the "Conte di Cavour"; otherwise we have no official information.
