§ Major HORE-BELISHAasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if the Australian Government has yet taken any steps to place the building of a cruiser in this country; and, seeing that there is no slip in any of His Majesty's dockyards large enough to take a cruiser of the intended size, he will take steps to enlarge the slip in Devonport Dockyard?
§ Mr. AMMONI have no information as regards the first part of the question. With reference to the second part, the slip at Devonport Dockyard is detailed for the cruiser to be constructed at that yard.
