§ 18. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the First Lord of the Admiralty what sum has been raised up to date for the preservation of H.M.S. "Victory"; whether His Majesty's Government is assisting in this regard, and, if so, to what extent; and whether any time limit has been fixed as to the requisite sum being obtained?
§ Mr. AMERYSo far as I am aware, no statement has yet been issued as to the progress of the "Save the 'Victory' Fund," which was only inaugurated a few weeks ago. I think it is premature, therefore, to raise points such as those dealt with in the question. I am glad to take this opportunity, however, of commending the fund to all Members who are interested in the Navy, and of begging them to do their utmost to support it.
