§ 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.
