§ MAJOR GENERAL GOLDSWORTHY (Hammersmith)asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he will give instructions that the arms, ammunition, and equipment required for the Army shall be of Home Manufacture and not be obtained from abroad?
§ THE SURVEYOR GENERAL OF ORDNANCE (Mr. NORTHCOTE) (Exeter)(who replied) said, that, as far as was practicable, the arms and equipments of home manufacturers would be preferred; but there were some Army necessaries which we were not yet in a position to supply ourselves with, and which we were at present compelled to buy abroad. But, as far as possible, home manufactures would be preferred.
