Debated Naval Policy Sparks Tory Split in Commons
The House of Commons faced a partisan clash over Britain’s naval programme with ministers accused of half measures. Lord Robert Cecil urged focus on naval supremacy and empire safety while Sir Edward Grey fretted over verbal German pledges that lack binding force. Germany’s plan to build fifty eight Dreadnoughts and Invincibles is cited as the real threat.
