SIR U.KAY-SHUTTLEWORTHI beg to ask the Secretary to the Trea- 1758 sury when the first Account under the Naval Defence Act will be rendered to the Comptroller and Auditor General, in accordance with the 5th section of the Act?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON,) Leeds, N.The Account to which the right hon. Baronet refers is the first of the series, and will largely influence the form of subsequent Accounts. It has, therefore, been the subject of much consideration between the Admiralty and the Treasury, but I believe it has to-day been sent forward by the Treasury.
