HC Deb 20 March 1894 vol 22 cc688-9
MR. GIBSON BOWLES

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the Admiralty have come to any conclusion as to the suitability of oil fuel for use in Her Majesty's ships; and, if so, whether he will state what that conclusion is?

SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH

The conclusion arrived at by the Admiralty is that, for the present, it is undesirable to adopt liquid fuel for use on board Her Majesty's ships.
