HC Deb 16 December 1936 vol 318 c2466W
Mr. NOEL-BAKER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can say to what firms orders for war-vessel construction were given during the years 1928 to 1935; and what was the value of the orders given to each firm [...]n each year?

Sir S. HOARE

I regret that it is not practicable to furnish detailed information of this kind without an expenditure of time and labour which it would be difficult to justify at the present time.
