MAJOR DICKSONasked the Secretary to the Admiralty, When the men willing to join batteries of Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers in Deal, Dover, and Folkestone, to be attached to the London brigade, may expect a definite answer to their application made in October 1881; and, do the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty contemplate accepting their services?
§ MR. CAMPBELL- BANNERMANThe subject referred to by the hon. and gallant Member is still under consideration. The course to be taken as to Naval Volunteers will be stated when the Estimates are introduced, and we cannot deal separately with individual offers of service.
