§ MR. CORRANCEasked the Secretary of State for War, When the Report of the Experiments made at Shoeburyness upon Gun Cotton will be presented to the House?
§ SIR HENRY STORKSsaid: The Gun Cotton Committee made a preliminary Report on the 13th of December, 1871, and are about to submit a second Report on the subject of the storage and transport of gun-cotton. No experiments have been made at Shoeburyness with gun-cotton; but the Committee made some in April near Hastings, the result of which will be given in their second Report now about to be presented. There will be no objection to the production of either Report if moved for by my hon. Friend.
