asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what is the additional expenditure of tons of fuel and rounds of ammunition for the home and Mediterranean fleets to be incurred in the present financial year as compared with the previous year; and what is the financial cost of the same?

Sir B. EYRES MONSELL:

The expenditure of fuel and ammunition in the home and Mediterranean fleets has been somewhat increased by the removal of the almost penal restrictions which were necessary last year. I regret that it would not be in the public interest to publish any figures in regard to the expenditure of fuel or ammunition in the fleets.
