HC Deb 09 May 1898 vol 57 cc679-80
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Departmental Committee which was appointed last year to consider the question of stationery used in the Admiralty Offices have made their Report; and has any economy resulted therefrom; if so, to what extent?

THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. W. G. E. MACARTNEY,) Antrim, S.

It is expected that the Committee will make their Report shortly. I am not, therefore, able to make any statement at present.

MR. WEIR

Can the honourable Gentleman give us any idea when he will be able to? This Question was first put 12 months ago.

MR. MACARTNEY

I cannot.
