HC Deb 19 June 1862 vol 167 cc731-2
SIR HENRY WILLOUGHBY

said, he wished to ask the Secretary of State for War, What amount of public charge is created by Contract at the fifty-five places stated in Parliamentary Paper No. 267 of this Session, where Contracts on account Of Fortifications have been made: and whether he can place a Document on the table of the House, showing the amount of such charge under Contract at each of the fifty-five places?

SIR GEORGE LEWIS

said, if the hon. Baronet would move for a return upon the subject, he should be happy to lay it upon the table.

SIR HENRY WILLOUGHBY

said, he wished to ask if the right hon. Baronet will state the gross amount?

SIR GEORGE LEWIS

What the hon. Baronet asked for is the details, and it would be more convenient and satisfactory to the House to lay these details on the table in writing. I can give the gross amount at any time that it may be convenient to the hon. Baronet.
