HC Deb 11 December 1946 vol 431 c236W
100. Sir R. Ross

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what is the approximate cost of storing the armament of a frigate and providing accommodation on a similar scale to that provided in H.M.S. "Enchantress" prior to September, 1939.

Mr. Dugdale

Any armament which might be removed would be placed in existing Naval store-houses. The additional cost would be negligible. To convert a frigate and provide accommodation on a similar scale to that in the prewar "Enchantress" would cost roughly £30,000.
