HC Deb 19 December 1928 vol 223 c3056W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what was the total cost of building His Majesty's ship "Dorchester" in His Majesty's dockyard, Portsmouth; and how much of this cost is attributable to overhead charges, specifying under which heads these fall?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

The hon. Member probably refers to the "Dorset-shire." This ship is still in the early stages of construction, so that the total cost of building her cannot be stated.
