HC Deb 26 February 1912 vol 34 c1144W
Lord C. BERESFORD

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many first, second, and third class cruisers have been, or are being, converted into mine-layers?

Mr. CHURCHILL

There is no public advantage to be gained by detailed statements on this subject. I shall be quite ready to tell the Noble Lord confidentially how matters stand.
