HC Deb 20 March 1930 vol 236 cc2109-10W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty how far work on His Majesty's Ship "Maidstone" was advanced when the building was cancelled; and what is to be done about the assembled material and material ordered?

Mr. G. HALL

His Majesty's Ship "Maidstone" had not actually been laid down, but certain material had been taken in hand. As regards the small amount of assembled material, the hon. and gallant Member may rest assured that it will not be wasted. The same applies to material which was on order in so far as it was not cancelled outright.
