HC Deb 23 March 1893 vol 10 c863
LORD GEORGE HAMILTON (Middlesex, Ealing)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty what is the number of coastguards at present stationed in Ireland?

THE CIVIL LORD of THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. EDMUND ROBERTSON,) Dundee

Perhaps I may be allowed to answer this question. By latest Returns there are 1,188 coastguard officers and men stationed in Ireland.
