CAPTAIN PRICE

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty, Whether it is proposed to take a Vote this Session in the Navy Estimates (Greenwich Hospital Vote) to give effect to the provisions of the Greenwich Hospital Bill, should it become an Act of Parliament; and, if he will inform the House what portion of the Greenwich Hospital funds will probably be appropriated annually to this purpose?
