HC Deb 19 July 1883 vol 281 c1902
COLONEL NORTH

asked the Secretary of State for War, Why the Evidence taken before the Committee to inquire into the Royal Hospitals at Chelsea and Kilmainham has not been printed with the Report, and when it will be forthcoming?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

Sir, the evidence in question is voluminous, and extremely technical. As the Committee, in their Report, go fully into the facts brought out in the evidence, I considered that the public interest in the evidence would probably be insufficient to justify the cost of printing and distributing it to Members.
