§ MR. NEWDEGATEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, In what form and when he will submit to the House the additional provision for Roman Catholic Chaplains to be employed in connection with the Navy which he is understood to contemplate?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHSir, I intend to lay an Admiralty Minute on the Table of the House before I proceed with the Votes. We have Vote 6 and 10 in the Estimates yet to be voted.
§ MR. NEWDEGATEWhen will the Admiralty Minute be in the hands of Members?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHSir, the question requires careful consideration, and some little correspondence with officers at present employed with the Fleet. It will probably be two or three weeks before the Minute is laid on the Table; but the next Estimate will not be taken until this information has been furnished.
