HC Deb 15 April 1886 vol 304 c1629
MR. FORWOOD (Lancashire, Ormskirk)

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, When the Return as to the expenditure over Armed Cruisers and Transports, ordered by the House, will be ready?

THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. HIBBERT) (Oldham)

In reply to ray hon. Friend, I have to state that the Return asked for by him is of a somewhat extensive character, and I fear that the earliest date that can be named for its completion is shortly after the Recess.
