HC Deb 11 March 1893 vol 9 c1699
LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if there is any precedent known of the first Vote in Naval Estimates being discussed on a Saturday?

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

There has been no time. The noble Lord has given me no notice of this question. I saw it for the first time at half-past 10 this morning. But I can tell the noble Lord of one thing for which there was no precedent in his time. When the noble Lord got his Vote for men he got his Vote for money too.

CAPTAIN NAYLOR LEYLAND (Colchester)

I wish to ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he will be able to dismiss the Estimates at all to-day?

MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!
