§ MR. R. POWER (Waterford)asked the Secretary of State for War, When the Report of the Evidence taken by the Ordnance Inquiry Commission will be presented to Parliament?
§ THE SURVEYOR GENERAL OF ORDNANCE (Mr. NORTHCOTE) (Exeter)(who replied) said: The Secretary to the Royal Commission informs the Secretary of State that the Evidence will be printed in about a fortnight. I believe the indexing of the Evidence is the cause of the delay; but I will endeavour to see if the production cannot be accelerated. As the Commission was an entirely independent one, the War Office has had no control over the printing of the Evidence.
