§ MR. PERCY THORNTON (Clapham)I beg to ask the Secretary 1481 to the Admiralty whether, in consequence of the unexpected difficulties attending the operations, the Neptune Salvage Company have lost money by the salving of H.M.S. Howe; and, if so, what steps the Admiralty propose to take with a view to further remuneration for the work?
§ THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. E. ROBERTSON,) DundeeThe Admiralty have no knowledge of the cost of the operations to the Neptune Salvage Company, and consequently have no views as to any further remuneration.
