§ SIR MORTON PETOsaid, he wished to ask, What were the intentions of the Government in regard to Greenwich Hospital?
§ MR. CHILDERS,in reply, said, he had last Session stated generally the intentions of the Government on this subject, and had explained that a joint Committee would arrange the details of the proposed measure, which would be brought before Parliament this year. The Committee in question was appointed, but one of its Members, Sir Richard Bromley, had been attacked by a dangerous illness, and had been for many weeks unable to attend to business. The Committee, however, had made its Report, which had been considered by the Admiralty and the Treasury, and he hoped very shortly to be able to state to the House the details of the plan, and introduce a Bill to carry them out.
