HC Deb 30 April 1888 vol 325 cc895-6
CAPTAIN COLOMB (Tower Hamlets, Bow, &c.)

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether there is any objection to including in the Return, Navies (England and other Countries), a marginal reference distinguishing the vessels in commission, and showing where they are stationed or employed, and showing the ports at which the vessels not in commission are stationed or building at the date of the Return?

THE FIRST LORD (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Ealing)

We have not the information required as regards the ships of Foreign Navies in an authoritative form, and the information concerning English ships is in The Navy List.
