§ MR. RENWICK (Newcastle-on-Tyne)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can state how it is in tended to dispose of the guns now in the vessels of His Majesty's Navy which are to be put out of service to make way for new-ships; and if such guns can be distributed amongst those corps of Garrison and other Artillery Volunteers which are still without modern guns.
§ THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. ARTHUR LEE, Hampshire,) FarehamThis matter is now under the consideration of the Admiralty and War Office, and until the question has been finally settled it is not possible to give any definite reply to the hon. Member's Question.
