HC Deb 12 March 1886 vol 303 c639
LORD GEORGE HAMILTON (Middlesex, Ealing)

asked the Secretary of State for War, If he could, for the convenience of the House, state, before the discussion upon Navy Estimates, the amount proposed to be taken in the Army Estimates for the provision of guns and ammunition for the Navy?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN) (, &c.) Stirling

I hope the Army Estimates will be in the hands of Members before the Navy Estimates are moved; but for the convenience of my noble Friend and of others interested, I may state that they include a sum of £1,000,000 sterling for naval armaments, and about £215,000 for gunpowder and gun cotton for the use of the Navy.
