§ VISCOUNT SIDMOUTH,who had upon the Paper the following Notice:—
To call attention to the position of the Corps of Royal Naval Volunteers as it will be affected by the proposed action of the Board of Admiralty,said: My Lords, I am afraid that by a misunderstanding of mine I may have caused inconvenience to some noble Lords who may have wished to come down and speak on the position of the Royal Naval Volunteers. I understand that the document to which I was about to refer not having been laid on your Lordships' Table, I should be out of order if I were now to refer to it. The course I propose to take, therefore, is to ask the noble Lord who represents the Admiralty whether he would object to lay on the Table of the House the Report of Sir George Tryon's Committee upon the subject of the Royal Naval Volunteers.
§ LORD ELPHINSTONEThere is no objection whatever to laying on the Table the Report to which my noble Friend alludes.
