MR. GIBSON BOWLESI beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can inform the House why copies of the Admiralty Minutes on the Victoria Court Martial, which were published in The Times of 2nd November, have not yet been distributed to the Members of this House; and whether he can say when they will be so distributed?
SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTHThese Minutes were laid upon the Table on the first day on which the House sat after the Recess, November 2. Copies will be in the Vote Office this afternoon. The printer explains that the preparation of the plates attached to one of the Minutes has caused the delay.
