CAPTAIN BOWLESI beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will state what are the duties attached to the new office created for Mr. Donaldson; and in what respect do they differ from the duties he was called upon to perform as Assistant Director-General of Ordnance Factories.
MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMSMr. Donaldson's present duties are laid down in the Memorandum showing the duties of the principal officers of the War Office recently presented to Parliament. His duties have always been these of Chief Mechanical Engineer; but, until the recent Order in Council, he also acted as the Deputy of the Director-General of Ordnance Factories.
