Lieut.-Commander YOUNGasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether H.M.S. "Vindictive" has been offered to the Belgian Government; and, if so, whether he will consider the desirability of offering in her place, as a tribute to the Belgian people, some object other than one which is of little interest or value to any nation other than ours?
§ Sir J. CRAIGThe "Vindictive" was offered to and accepted by the Belgian Government, and was formally handed over on the 11th November.
