HC Deb 13 March 1885 vol 295 c1076
SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFE

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether Her Majesty's Government will lay upon the Table the instructions given to the Commission presided over by H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh on Pensions to the Widows and Orphans of Seamen and Marines and other Naval Pensions?

MR. CAINE

Premising that a Committee and not a Commission has been appointed to consider the question of making provision for widows, I have to inform the hon. Member that it is not desirable to raise expectations by publishing the instructions, the result of the inquiry being uncertain.
