HC Deb 25 June 1889 vol 337 c703
COLONEL EYRE (Lincolnshire, Gainsborough)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to a letter in the Standard of 22nd June, stating that during the months of January, February, and March of this year, the Government were receiving from the Chilworth Company considerable quantities of a gunpowder known as R. L. G. 4, said to be manufactured in Germany; and, whether the Chilworth Company are still supplying the Government with the same powder?

* MR. E. STANHOPE

As the case is about to be reheard before the magistrates, I shall feel obliged if my hon. and gallant Friend will repeat his question at a later date—say in a fortnight's time.
