MR. SERJEANT KINGLAKEsaid, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, Whether any alteration has been or is about to be made in the system of storing Gunpowder in public or private magazines?
§ SIR GEORGE GREYsaid, in reply, he had answered a similar question some time ago. Inquiry had been made under his direction by Colonel Boxer as to private magazines; and a Committee of five officers had been appointed by the Secretary of State for War to inquire into the storage of gunpowder in Government magazines. That Committee had not yet made its final Report; but he hoped before long a Bill on the subject would be laid before Parliament.
