MR. H. F. PEASE (York, N.R., Cleveland)asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether he will grant the Return relating to the British Hospital at Smyrna, standing on the Paper for this day?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)(who replied) said: Returns are being prepared, on the Motion of the hon. and gallant Member for South Bristol (Colonel Hill), which will cover the hon. Member's proposed Motion, except that they will only embrace seven instead of 10 years, and the length of the stay in hospital of each seaman, which could not be furnished here. Perhaps he will be so good as to confer with me, and I will see how far the Returns, which are in preparation, can be extended without loss of time.
