MR. GIBSON BOWLESI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether 1366 he is now able to say whether the Report of the engineer sent to report on the harbour on the eastern side of the Rock recommended by the Gibraltar Committee in March 1901 will be laid upon the Table of this House; and, if so, when; and, if it will not be laid, can he state generally what course His Majesty's Government intend to take in order to render Gibraltar tenable, and to keep it open as a naval station.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURYes, Sir; I have much pleasure in informing the hon. Member that the Report can be laid immediately.
