asked the Prime Minister whether, with a view to easing the dollar exchange, providing extra employment in the British shipbuilding industry when the war is over, and assisting the United States of America to increase her naval effectives immediately after the war, he has considered the possibility of inducing the United States of America to purchase at once a certain number of warships now in commission or in process of building, or their counterparts if lost or damaged in action, for delivery after the war, subject to whatever final adjustments of price may be necessary after delivery?
