§ LORD CHARLES BERESFORDasked the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is true that Captain Hall (Royal Navy) has been appointed to command a ship of war at sea, thereby causing a vacancy for the post of Naval Secretary to the Royal Commission on the System of Administration for the Naval and Military Services; if so, whether the vacancy is filled up by another Naval Officer; and, if not, whether it is intended to fill it up?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHIt is the case that Captain Hall has recently been appointed to the command of a ship, and has therefore withdrawn from the post of one of the Secretaries to the Royal Commission; but as the Commission has very nearly completed its labours, it has not been thought necessary to appoint another Naval Officer.
