§ GENERAL SIR WILLIAM CROSSMAN (Portsmouth)asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether it is the case that General Sir Donald Stewart, a member of the Indian Council, is also a Director of the "Nordenfelt Guns and Ammunition Company;" and, if so, whether, considering the supply of machine guns and ammunition for the Indian Service may at any time come under the consideration of the Council, Her Majesty's Government have any intention of calling upon Sir Donald Stewart either to resign his official appointment or to divest himself of an interest in the gun making firm?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JOHN GORST) (Chatham)As soon as the Question of the hon. and gallant Member appeared upon the Notice Paper, General Sir Donald Stewart placed himself unreservedly in the hands of the Secretary of State, and has now ceased to be a Director of the "Nordenfelt Guns and Ammunition Company."
