§ SIR GEORGE BADEN-POWELLI beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, whether, in determining on the boiler fluids for the cleansing of the boilers in Her Majesty's vessels, selection is made only after full competitive trial of any "thirds" submitted by responsible persons with certificates of successful use in vessels of the mercantile marine, or whether it is the fact that no such trials arc made and no public competition invited?
THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Sir UGHTRED KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH,) Lancashire, N. E., ClitheroeNo boiler fluids are used for the cleansing of the boilers in Her Majesty's vessels.
