§ Sir HENRY NORMANasked the First Lord of the Admiralty why the dispatches from the commander of H.M.S. "Lion," dated 1st September, H.M.S. "Euryalus," dated 28th September, and H.M.S. "Lowestoft," dated 26th September, all reporting the engagement off Heligoland on 28th August, were not issued to the public until 23rd October?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe delay was due to the desire to complete the dispatches with a list of the honours awarded for services rendered in the action.
