§ MR. PULESTONasked, Whether the Report of the Committee on Dockyard Works had been received; and whether the hon. Gentleman could state when it would be laid on the Table?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANsaid, he presumed the Report alluded to was that of Lord Ravensworth's Committee. It had been received, but only on Friday or Saturday last, and he could not say when it would be laid on the Table, for it would first have to be considered by the Admiralty.
§ SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFFasked if there was anyone competent to consider it during the absence of Lord Northbrook?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANsaid, he thought that difficulty might be got over.
