§ MR. MAJENDIE (Portsmouth)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the list of persons entitled to unclaimed naval prize money, which was to have been taken in hand in January last, is near completion, and whether the form of that list will be such as to enable claimants to verify their claims; and whether, to save time and facilitate examination by claimants, he will consent to a publication of the list in sections, and have the first section published immediately.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERThe preparation of the list referred to was sanctioned in May last, but it deals with a long period, and I cannot as yet precisely state when it will be completed. It will be proceeded with as rapidly as possible, and I hope to be able to present it in about three months. The list will be in such a form as will enable applicants to verify their claims readily. It would be possible to publish the list in sections, but in the opinion of the Admiralty such a course is not desirable.
