§ COMMANDER BETHELL (York, E. R., Holderness)May I ask the Secretary to the Admiralty a question of which I have given him private notice. Perhaps he will be good enough to state whether the Admiralty have come to any decision as to the nature of the inquiry into the causes which led to the loss of the Victoria?
SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTHNo, Sir; the matter is under consideration, and it is expected a decision will be arrived at within a few days.
