Royal Navy force structure without a treaty pause

Would American and Japanese pauses after G3 and N3 give British naval spending advocates a reason to halt construction?

Spending might fall, but construction would continue because Britain still needed active and reserve squadrons for the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indian Ocean.

Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indian Ocean requirements would drive the fleet's structure. Britain could maintain two active battle squadrons, another major force in reserve or ordinary, and battlecruisers for the eastern station. The fleet need not grow without limit. It would keep ordering replacements at a sustainable cadence, perhaps a new pair every two years, rather than accept a complete construction holiday. Geography and imperial protection set the floor more than rival hull counts did.
