§ MR. KEARLEY) (Devonport)To ask the Secretary to the Admiraity if he will state the cause of delay in printing and circulating the list of persons entitled to naval prize money covering the period from 1856 to 1897, and when its issue may be expected.
(Answered by Mr. Arnold-Forster.) The Paper in question is a voluminous one, extending to about 200 pages, and the printing has necessarily occupied a longer time than would be required for the issue of a less bulky Parliamentary Paper. There has, however, been no unnecessary delay, and I am informed that the printers hope to have the Paper ready for issue within a week.
