HC Deb 26 July 1904 vol 138 c1225
MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Admiralty Vote will be put down for discussion before the close of the session, to enable public attention to be directed to the practice and the methods of flogging men and boys in the Royal Navy.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

No, Sir; I cannot say when the Navy Estimates will be taken.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

My Question is, will they come on before the close of the session?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I have said I cannot give the hon. Gentleman the information he desires.
