HC Deb 16 March 1931 vol 249 cc1681-2W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many men were employed, and for how long, on the "Almirante Latorre," in Devonport Dockyard; what sum accrued to the British Government in respect of the work done on this ship; and what steps are being taken to obtain similar orders for work from other foreign Governments?

Mr. AMMON

About 2,000 men on the average were employed for approximately 18 months on this ship. The Admiralty do not feel able to take any special steps to obtain similar orders for work from other foreign Governments.
