§ Sir H. BRITTAINasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the need of economy in the fighting services, he will state the cost of maintaining the gyroscopical section of the Admiralty research department since its inception; and whether the expense has been commensurate with the results achieved?
§ Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAMThe answer to the first part of the question is about £50,000. With regard to the second part, the Admiralty are satisfied that the expense incurred has been justified.
