§ Sir C. Cayzerasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he has any information as to the number of eight-inch gun cruisers now built, building, or projected by the German Government?
§ Mr. ShakespeareI would refer my hon. Friend to the current edition of the Command Paper "Fleets." Of the five sub-category (a) cruisers, that is, cruisers with guns of 8 inch, there shown as building for the German Navy, one is known to have been completed. I have no information as to any further vessels of this category being built or projected.
