HC Deb 05 March 1883 vol 276 c1420
SIR JOHN HAY

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether any Report has been received from the Mediterranean Squadron of the result of the test of active service to our ships and guns, and dockyard and ordnance material; and, if he will communicate any such Report to the House?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

Sir, in answer to the right hon. and gallant Admiral, I have to say that Reports have been received on some of the points mentioned; but they are necessarily confidential, and cannot be made public.
