HC Deb 13 December 1922 vol 159 c2910
18. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked 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. AMERY

So 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.
