COLONEL SYKESsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home 667 Department, Why a Return ordered by the House on the 26th of March, relating to the Board of Works, has not yet been laid upon the table, and when it will be?
§ MR. GATHORNE HARDY, in reply, said, he had received, from the Board of Works, an explanation of the delay which had occurred in the production of certain returns. The fact was that the analysis required was so difficult that it would be at least two months before it would be ready.
