§ SIR WILLIAM PLOWDEN (Wolverhampton, W.)asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, When the complete Returns "Dockyard Expense Accounts, Parts I. and II., for 1887–8," will be presented to the House, only one Part having hitherto been published?
THE SECRETARY (Mr. FORWOOD)(who replied) said (Lancashire, Ormskirk)The final Dockyard Expense Accounts are necessarily delayed for the receipt of the accounts from foreign stations, and for the completion of the Navy Appropriation Accounts. They will probably be completed in February next.
