§ MR. A. WYLIE (Dumbartonshire)I beg to ask the Undersecretary of State for War, if it is the intention of the Government to complete the military defences of the Clyde at an early date, by carrying out the recommendations of the Committee of 1888 in regard to the armaments at the Cumbraes, and by protecting the mine field at Gourock, as reported on by Captain Callaghan last year?
§ *THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordIt is not known to what report of Captain Callaghan the hon. Member refers, but a certain amount of defence has been afforded to the mine field at Gourock. We are not in a position to make any declaration at present as to providing armaments for the Cumbraes.
