Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty when he proposes to issue the specifications for public tender in connection with the programme of cruiser construction; and whether he will expedite such issue so as to relieve unemployment at the earliest possible moment?

Mr. AMMON

The invitations to tender for the proposed cruisers have already been issued.
