§ Lord CHARLES BERESFORDasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether hydrogen for filling Admiralty balloons is being supplied by a foreign firm on the Continent; and, if so, will he explain the reason?
§ Mr. McKENNAHydrogen is being supplied at present by the builders of the airship, and no restriction has been placed on the source of supply. I am informed that it is in fact being supplied partly from Holland and partly from home. The subject of future supplies is receiving consideration.
