Could the Dominions receive smaller British carriers?

Would Dominions such as Australia get aircraft carriers in this alternative building programme?

Possibly, if Britain develops both large fleet carriers and smaller cruiser carriers. Australia and South Africa are suggested as potential operators of the smaller ships.

The scenario depends on Britain developing two carrier branches after the First World War: an improved Hermes for cruiser tasks and a fleet carrier of roughly 27,000 tons. Smaller cruiser carriers could then become available for Dominion service. Australia is suggested as a plausible recipient. South Africa is another possibility because of the trade routes around its coast, with Britain hypothetically supplying a hull free in return for operating it. These transfers remain conditional on how the alternative carrier programme develops.
