HC Deb 28 June 1889 vol 337 c1010
MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is the case that several Commissions have already favourably reported on Mr. Jobson's claims for compensation for advantage having been taken of his invention of a "Time Fuse;" and, if so, whether it is possible to grant some compensation to Mr. Jobson for this invention, which is now extensively used at Elswick and Woolwich?

* MR. E. STANHOPE

Mr. Jobson's claim to compensation for the invention of a "Time Fuse" was reported on by a Special Committee appointed for the investigation, by the Ordnance Committee, and by the Ordnance Council, and all reported against the admissibility of the claim.
