HC Deb 19 June 1899 vol 72 c1480
MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON (Dundee)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty when the new form of Admiralty Contract will be laid upon the Table.

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

No date can yet he given, but the form is in draft, and it is hoped that the final revision will not he prolonged.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

Seeing that this question was asked 18 months ago, will the hon. Gentleman undertake to let us have the form before the Shipbuilding Vote is reached?

MR. MACARTNEY

I cannot give that undertaking.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

I shall raise the question on the Vote.
