HC Deb 06 February 1930 vol 234 c2097W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty when it is proposed to start work on the only cruiser left to be constructed in the 1928–29 and 1929–30 naval programme; and whether, seeing that the construction of the other four cruisers in the programmes for 1928–29 and 1929–30 has been abandoned, he will see that the construction of this one cruiser is given to His Majesty's dockyards?

Mr. ALEXANDER

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply of the 5th February [OFFICIAL REPORT, Columns 1918–9].
