HC Deb 15 February 1898 vol 53 cc644-5
MR. GIBSON BOWLES

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can say when the Report of the Committee on the education of Naval Officers after they have left the "Britannia" will be completed; and whether he proposes to lay it upon the Table of this House?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY

It is hoped that the Committee will complete their Report by the end of March. In cases of this kind it is usual to await the signature of the Report before coming to a decision as to its being published, but in any case my hon. Friend may rely upon being made acquainted with its leading features.
