§ SIR JOHN HAYasked, Whether the Government had taken, or would take, any steps to inquire into the stability of H.M.S. "Inflexible?"
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI can inform my right hon. and gallant Friend that the Board of Admiralty propose to refer the question to a Commission, or Committee, of independent Gentlemen, not connected with the Admiralty, who, being experts in naval matters, will be well qualified to form an opinion. I cannot at this moment mention their names.
