§ CAPTAIN PIMasked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether he has any, and, if so, what objection to the addition of three Members of this House to the Committee appointed to inquire into the stability and safety of H.M.S. "Inflexible?"
§ MR. A. F. EGERTONIn answer to the hon. and gallant Gentleman, I have to say that the Admiralty are satisfied they have appointed a Committee perfectly competent to form a just judgment on the questions respecting the Inflexible, to which the hon. and gallant Member has referred. Under those circumstances, I consider it would be unnecessary and inexpedient to make any addition to that Committee either by Members of this House or by any other persons.
