asked how many destroyers have been completed for the British and German Navies from 1906 onwards, and how many in either case have a designed speed of thirty knots or more?

The information as to numbers will be found in Parliamentary Paper, No. 537, of the 6th instant. As regards speed, I have nothing to add to the answer I gave the hon. Member for Blackpool on 14th December, 1911.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will state the number of torpedo-boat destroyers ordered by England and Germany, respectively, since 1906?

The number for Great Britain is 120, including twelve coastal destroyers that were ordered in 1907–8. The number for Germany is seventy-two.
