SIR HENRY FLETCHERasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the Departmental Committee, appointed to inquire into certain matters connected with the Army Medical and Transport Departments, during the late Egyptian campaign, have made their Report; and, if so, whether the Report will be laid upon the Table of the House?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONThe Committee have not reported yet; but I understand from the Chairman (Lord Morley) that the Report will probably be made within a week or two. When I receive the Report I will consider the question of its presentation to Parliament; but I do not apprehend that there will be anything to prevent its being laid on the Table. I may add that the labours of this Committee have been very arduous, and the evidence is voluminous.
