§ SIR ROBERT LOYD LINDSAY (for Colonel STANLET)asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he can lay upon the Table of the House the Report of the Committee who were appointed, under the presidency of Sir Daniel Lysons, to inquire into the system of rifle practice in the Army?
§ MR. CHILDERSNo, Sir; the Report is of a very confidential character, and I shall certainly be unable to lay it on the Table in extenso. I will consider whether, later in the Session, some extracts can be given.
§ SIR ROBERT LOYD LINDSAYasked if the right hon. Gentleman would have any objection to allow the recommendations to be laid on the Table?
§ MR. CHILDERSI have considered that; but it would not be possible without disclosing confidential matter.
