LORD CLAUD JOHN HAMILTONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, How soon, and in what manner, he intends giving practical effect to the hopes held out by him to a recent deputation, that the Admiralty would increase the number of Greenwich Pensions for aged Seamen of the Merchant Service?
§ MR. GOSCHEN, in reply, said, he hoped soon to introduce a short Bill to compass the object to which the noble Lord's Question alluded, and when the Bill was in the hands of hon. Members it would afford them the best means of seeing how that object was proposed to be carried out.
