§ MR. KEARLEY (Devonport)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that the Government are about to effect a considerable reform both in the victualling and meal hours of the Fleet, in accordance with the recommendations of Admiral Rice's Victualling Committee, involving in the former connection a yearly additional expenditure of £180,000, he will give a full opportunity, on Navy Estimates, for Vote 2, the Victualling Vote, to be discussed.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURAt the present moment I can give no pledge as to when this Vote will be brought forward.
