HC Deb 21 July 1879 vol 248 cc856-7
MR. MUNDELLA

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he has received the Report of the Committee on the Army Clothing Establishment at Pimlico; and, if so, whether he will communicate the same to this House?

COLONEL STANLEY

, in reply, said, that through the courtesy of the President of the Committee on the Army Clothing Establishment at Pimlico he had received the Report of the Committee. He had not, however, received the evidence, which was still in the printer's hands. The Report and the evidence would, as soon as possible, be laid on the Table of the House. He wished to take that opportunity of publicly tendering his thanks and those of the Government, and he might say of the public service, to his hon. Friend the Member for Oldham (Mr. Hibbert) and his Colleagues, who had carried out the investigation with such care and ability.
