HC Deb 27 February 1899 vol 67 c608
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will state whether the Departmental Committee, which was appointed in 1897 to inquire into the heavy expenditure for stationery in Admiralty Offices, has reported in favour of an economy; and, if so, to what, extent?

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

Certain regulations recommended in the Report of the Committee have been adopted as regards printing, lithographing, binding, and the supply of stores, and it is believed that they will ensure the observance of due economy in the matter.
