HC Deb 20 March 1900 vol 80 c1304
MR. YERBURGH (Chester)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether on the arrival of the Naval officers and men who took such a part in the defence of Ladysmith, he will afford the inhabitants of London an opportunity of giving them a public reception, and thus expressing their admiration and gratitude.

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.

My right hon. friend asks me to say that no definite announcement can be made, but it is under consideration to have an inspection of the Naval Brigade by the Lords of the Admiralty in London.
