§ SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFFasked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether the Admiralty will consent to place on the Committee recently formed to inquire into the construction of ships in private yards, some representative, of a dockyard constituency?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThe Members of the Committee recently appointed, of whose duties my hon. Friend's Question does not give a complete description, have been invited to serve on it on account of their personal experience in, and acquaintance with, the business of building and repairing ships, and not because they represent any particular interest or constituency. The Admiralty see no reason to add to their number.
§ SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFFWill the hon. Gentleman place upon the Table a copy of the document constituting this Committee and the Order of Reference?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANNo, Sir; I have stated, in answer to a Question, both the names of the Members of the Committee and the Order of Reference.
§ SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFFI shall call attention to this subject in Supply.
