§ MR. BERNAL OSBORNEsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether the Report of the Commission on National Defences has been presented to the Government; and, if so, when they will be prepared to communicate it to Parliament? He also desired to know what has delayed the Returns moved for by his right hon. Friend the Member for Limerick (Mr. Monsell) respecting the details of the expenditure of £2,000,000 for the Spithead Forts?
SIR GEORGE LEWISsaid, the Report of the Commission had not yet been formally presented to the Government. It would, however, he believed, be presented to-morrow, and he hoped to be able to communicate it to the House next week. He would answer the other question of the hon. Gentleman to-morrow.
