§ ADMIRAL FIELDI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Royal Commission, presided over by the noble Lord the Member for Rossendale Division, on Naval and Military Administration have agreed upon and presented their Report to Her Majesty; and, whether Her Majesty's Government will advise that the same be laid upon the Table, or such portions thereof as are not of a confidential character?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH,) Strand, WestminsterPreliminary reports from the Royal j Commission in question have been submitted to Her Majesty. They have yet, however, to be considered by Her Majesty's Government; but I do not doubt that they will be presented to Parliament subject to the reservation which my hon. and gallant Friend makes.
