§ SIR WILLIAM CROSSMAN (Portsmouth)asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether the Law Officers of the Crown have been consulted as to whether, by the terms of the Charter of Greenwich Hospital, it is legal to use any of the funds of that Institution, which were mainly intended for the relief of men disabled or too old for further service, in giving pensions to men of the Naval Reserve, who form part of the Effective Forces of the country?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Ealing)I am unaware of any reference having been made to the Law Officers of the Crown on the subject.
