HC Deb 21 July 1937 vol 326 c2228W
Mr. Benn

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Government has considered the question of putting Gibraltar in a state of effective defence; when the work will begin; and what will be the cost?

Sir V. Warrender

Since 1934 the work of modernising our defences at Gibraltar has been and is proceeding. It would not be advisable to announce either the character of the improvements or their cost.
