§ 12. Lieut.-Commander BOWERasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, having regard to the inaccessibility of the Admiralty library, he will consider transferring the important historical documents contained therein to a place accessible to the public?
Sir B. EYRES MONSELLI cannot agree either that the Admiralty library is inaccessible or that it contains important historical documents. The library is largely used and appreciated by naval officers and students of naval matters, but it is merely a naval library in the ordinary sense of the term, and probably contains no work that is not also accessible at the Reading Room of the British Museum.
§ Lieut.-Commander BOWERCan the First Lord say whether "Flinders Journal" is in the Admiralty Library?
