Mr. PRESTONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty with reference to the offer the Admiralty have made of engines and motors from ex-German submarines for the furtherance of technical engineering education, whether he will extend this offer so as to embrace the appliances and equipment of the submarines in question, such as periscope, hydrostatic gear, etc., which would be of great assistance in connection with engineering and scientific instruction?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI am advised that the Admiralty are prepared to extend their offer to any' fittings which may be of technical or scientific interest. They have already forwarded specimen machines and fittings to firms who are engaged in the manufacture of similar gear, but up to the present have received no applications from technical colleges or institutions for specimens of the fittings referred to in the latter part of the question.
