HC Deb 12 December 1857 vol 148 c681
LORD ALFRED CHURCHILL

said, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to form a separate Naval Station for the Australian and New Zealand colonies?

SIR CHARLES WOOD

The naval command for both New Zealand and Australia is vested in one officer, nor is there any likelihood that the command will be divided, certainly not for some time to come.
