§ MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether he is aware that the Royal Commission on Warlike Stores requested Colonel Hope to report on the Colling-wood gun; that the Report in question was finished in October; the Commission ceased to exist in December; and that the Report was not yet before the public; and whether he will cause it to be published?
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. E. STANHOPE)(who replied) (Lincolnshire, Horncastle)said: I am still expecting to receive from the Royal Commission the Supplemental Report referred to. I shall be exceedingly glad when the Papers on this subject can be published.
