Bcllairs asked if the Fleet was to be concentrated in British waters, or were we to havo a great Pacific Fleet. Now that there was no ir.-nnace in the North Sea we must have an outlook on the Pacific.
Mr Walter LOll2, First Lord of the Admiralty, replied that certain matters of policy could not be discussed.
A number of questions of future policy were norv before the r-ommittce for examination, and a declaration of policy would be made as soon as the Admiralty saw th 3 way clear to do so.
Defending the expenditure on oil fuel bases, he said it was the bounden duty of the Admiralty to see that the storage was such that it was impossible for ships to be deficient in supplies wherever they might be throughout the world.
