§ Captain WARINGasked why are the powerful high-angle fire guns specially designed for Gibraltar some ten years ago, as a result of the inquiry on the spot by Admiral Rawson and General Nicholson, not now in their assigned positions at that fortress; and where are they?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Acland)In consequence of changes of armament at Gibraltar made on the recommendation of General Owen's Committee certain high-angle fire guns prepared for that fortress were not mounted there, but have been used elsewhere. It is not in the interests of the public service to state where they have been mounted.
