HC Deb 19 February 1919 vol 112 cc908-9
7. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty when he will be in a position to announce a date for the division of naval prize money?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to a similar question on Thursday last, a copy of which I am sending him.

Sir B. FALLE

Is it possible for my right hon. Friend to grant a preliminary sum now instead of waiting for a final distribution?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The hon. and gallant Gentleman puts to me a question which has been many times considered. It is very difficult, and I should not like to give a final answer even now. Perhaps he will put a question down.
