HC Deb 12 August 1876 vol 231 c1157
CAPTAIN PIM

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether he will re consider his decision, and at once appoint a committee to inquire into and report on Designs of our Ships of War, and their present state of efficiency?

MR. HUNT,

in reply, said, that the intended appointment of this Committee had been postponed for reasons which he considered sufficient, and which had been urged upon him in the House, and that therefore he was not prepared to nominate such a Committee.
