HC Deb 12 December 1893 vol 19 c1176
MR. LYELL (Orkney and Shetland)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether any effect has been given or is about to be given to the recommendation of the Committee on Royal Naval Reserves, presided over by Admiral Sir G. Tryon in 1891, that— It would add to the reliability and solidarity of the Force if the 2nd Class Naval Reserve were to embark periodically on a vessel of war; also that the Drill ship now in the Firth of Forth might go to Lerwick for one month in early winter, and the ship on the Clyde to Stornoway"?

THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Sir U. KAY-SHUTTLE-WORTH,) Lancashire, Clitheroe

The recommendation quoted by my hon. Friend is now under consideration.
