§ MR. LODER (Brighton)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any decision has yet been arrived at as to the amount of compensation to be paid for drillsheds, uniforms, and headquarters of the Brighton Corps of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers, which was considered as long ago as 2nd March last; and when the Report of the Committee, appointed under the Admiralty Order of 13th November last, may be expected?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON,) Middlesex, EalingThe Committee in question have now completed their inquiry into the financial position of the various corps of the late Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers, and they will be able to submit their general Report to the Admiralty in the course of the next ten days. The apparent delay in presenting their Report is due to the fact that the Committee visited the headquarters of the Brighton Corps first of all, and since then they have been making the round of the other stations.
