HC Deb 11 August 1884 vol 292 cc444-5
MR. PULESTON

asked, 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-BANNERMAN

said, 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 WOLFF

asked if there was anyone competent to consider it during the absence of Lord Northbrook?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

said, he thought that difficulty might be got over.
