HC Deb 06 April 1911 vol 23 c2574W
Captain WARING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether a Commission, known as the Owen Commission, was recently sent out to inquire into the state of our fortifications at Gibraltar and in the Mediterranean; and, if so, whether he proposes to present the report to Parliament, and, if so, when?

Colonel SEELY

A Committee, with General Sir T. F. Owen as Chairman, reported on these matters in 1907. It is impossible to make public the details of the armaments of our fortified ports.
