HC Deb 11 March 1893 vol 9 c1710
SIR RICHARD TEMPLE (Surrey, Kingston)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can state the condition of the Australian coaling stations at Thursday Island and St. George's Sound in respect of fortification and armament?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I think the hon. and gallant Member must see that an hour and a-half's notice is hardly long enough to enable me to-get this information.
