§ 21. Mr. Culverwellasked the First Lord of the Admiralty the amount of prize bounty distributed after the Great War; and how many persons received such bounty?
§ Mr. ShakespeareThe total amount of prize bounty distributed during and after the war was £176,850. I regret that information concerning the number of officers and men receiving prize bounty is not now available.
§ Mr. CulverwellIs the hon. Gentleman aware that the expenditure of this large sum of money is quite unnecessary, as our sailors may be expected do do their duty without this reward?
