SIR JOHN HAYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, If he will lay on the Table of the House the Report of the Committee on Ships' Books and Accounts? He also wished to know when the Navy Estimates will be brought on?
§ MR. GOSCHEN, in reply, said, the Report in question was a lengthy document upon a very technical subject, and, though important to the naval profession, it would not be read by 15 or 20 Members of that House. Therefore, he did not intend to go to the expense of printing it; but any hon. Member would be afforded the opportunity of referring 1466 to it. He was not prepared at present to state when the Navy Estimates would be taken.
