§ MR. BELLAIRS (Lynn Regis)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, with reference to the Report of the Committee quoted in the statement of Admiralty policy, 30th November, 1905, whether there was a minority Report; whether any artificer engineers or artificers were examined by the Committee; and whether he will lay upon the Table the complete terms of reference, evidence, and the Report or Reports of the Committee.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. EDMUND ROBERTSON, Dundee)There was a minority Report dealing with one point of the enquiry, but it had nothing to do with the engine room staff, on which the Committee were unanimous. The answer to the second part of the Question is in the affirmative. The complete terms of reference to the Committee are given in the statement of Admiralty policy. The Report is a departmental document intended solely for the information and use of the Board of the Admiralty, and as such would not be published.
