§ MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAMI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if any person received a reward for the invention of time fuzes from Government, and has Lord Armstrong received anything for these fuzes from Government?
§ * MR. E. STANHOPEThere were extensive financial transactions with the Elswick Company in regard to the introduction, 30 years ago, of the Armstrong system generally, of which time fuzes formed a part; but since the introduction of that system no reward has been paid to any person for time fuzes.
§ MR. C. GRAHAMWas not the person who received the reward ten years ago either Lord Armstrong or a representative of that firm?
§ * MR. E. STANHOPEYes, I suppose that was so.
