§ Captain Pluggeasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the denunciation by Germany of the Anglo-German Naval Agreement, he can state whether our naval construction plans are to be altered in any way; and whether there is any intention of negotiating for a new agreement?
§ Mr. ShakespeareWith reference to the first part of the question, this is a matter which will receive consideration with others arising out of the denunciation of the Anglo-German Naval Agreement of 1935. With regard to the second part of the question, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given by the Prime Minister to the hon. and gallant Member for Nuneaton (Lieut.-Commander Fletcher) yesterday.
