HC Deb 28 February 1878 vol 238 c446
MR. T. BRASSEY

, asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, When the final Report from the Admiralty Committee on Boilers will be presented?

MR. W. H. SMITH

, in reply, said, the third, and probably, the final, Report of the present Boiler Committee would be issued in about three weeks' time. It was a voluminous document. It had been delayed in consequence of the difficulties in obtaining certain photographs that were to accompany the Report. The Committee terminated with the financial year; but their operations would be carried on by a small Committee of Departmental officers.
