HC Deb 11 February 1930 vol 235 cc257-8W
Sir H. CAYZER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty when it is expected that work will be commenced on the two destroyers allocated to Portsmouth; whether this work will occasion any increase in the number of men to be employed at the dockyard; and, if so, to what extent?

Mr. AMMON

Work will actually be started in a month or so. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative, and the third part does not therefore arise.
