HC Deb 17 March 1887 vol 312 c524
CAPTAIN PRICE (Devonport)

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, What steps have been taken to carry out the recommendations of the Duke of Edinburgh's Committee as to making provision for the widows of seamen in the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines?

THE FIRST LORD (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Ealing)

The Admiralty have not yet been able to take practical action on this Report; but if my hon. and gallant Friend would confer with me I could point out to him the nature of the difficulties we have to contend with.
