HC Deb 24 February 1890 vol 341 cc1020-1
MR. JAMES ROWLANDS (Finsbury, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the Maxim-Nordenfelt Gun and Ammunition Company are executing an order for English guns for the Government; and whether he has any information to the effect that the workmen at, present engaged on this work are foreigners who have been brought into the country to take the place of the English workmen now out on strike?

MR. E. STANHOPE

The Maxim-Nordenfelt Gun and Ammunition Company are executing an order for the Government. I have no information to the effect stated in the latter part of the question.
