§ Mr. HARBORDasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any provision has been made to recompense the owners and crews of fishing vessels invited to participate in the Naval Review at Spit- 1882W head for the cost incurred and the loss of earnings due to their taking part in the review?
Captain WALLACEAn invitation has been extended to the British fishing fleets to attend the Naval Review, and I am glad to say that several ports have signified their intention of being represented. I regret, however, that there are no funds available at the Admiralty to compensate owners and crews of fishing vessels who accept the invitation.
