§ Captain W. BENNasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether any decision has yet been arrived at with the object of improving the audibility of the Edinburgh 1 o'clock gun?
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSNo actual decision has yet been given, but I understand that a sufficiently loud report can probably be obtained by increasing the charge, and as soon as the technical details are settled, the Edinburgh Corporation, who bear the expenses, will be consulted.
