HC Deb 27 March 1863 vol 170 c27
SIR JAMES ELPHINSTONE

said, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, If he will, during the recess, procure for the House a list of the iron-plated or iron-clad vessels built or building, with their tonnage, dimensions, armour, and draught of water, He asked this Question in consequence of a similar Return, ordered on the Motion of the hon. Member for Birkenhead (Mr. Laird), having been incorrectly worded and misunderstood to refer only to the old floating batteries.

LORD CLARENCE PAGET

said, in reply, that if the hon. Member would let him know what the particular Returns were which he wanted, he would endeavour to obtain them.
