HC Deb 03 November 1948 vol 457 c67W
7. Sir G. Fox

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he can give an assurance that Russia will not receive the battleship "Giulio Cesare" under the Italian Peace Treaty before H.M.S. "Royal Sovereign" lent to the Soviet Navy in 1943 is returned to the Royal Navy.

Mr. Dugdale

The intention is that the two transfers should take place simultaneously.
