HC Deb 11 March 1886 vol 303 c453
SIR HENRY TYLER (Great Yarmouth)

asked the Secretary of State for War, What quantity of work is now being performed for the War Department on the Continent; what contracts are running; what is the total of those contracts in money and materials; and, what proportions remain to be completed?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN) (Stirling, &c.)

I cannot give this information to day, and its preparation would involve a good deal of detailed calculation. If the hon. Member thinks a good public purpose will be served I am ready to order the preparation of the information he asks for; but I must request a few days' Notice.
