HC Deb 02 August 1894 vol 27 c1568
MR. MACDONA

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the Departmental Committee, appointed to take evidence as to floating derelicts, has yet finished its inquiry; if so, when will its Report be presented to the House?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. BRYCE,) Aberdeen, S.

I believe that the Committee have finished taking evidence, but that they have not yet been able to complete their Report. I much doubt whether it will be possible to present it before the end of the Session.
