HC Deb 28 February 1895 vol 31 cc33-4
MR. R. W. HANBURY (Preston)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether the cordite plant sent to India has been successful in producing reliable cordite; whether the use of cordite manufactured in India is considered satisfactory by the authorities there; and, will he lay upon the table any correspondence thereon?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (MR. H. H. FOWLER,) Wolverhampton, E.

(1) So far as I am aware the cordite plant has not yet been erected. (2) No cordite has been manufactured in India. (3) The question as to the manufacture of cordite in India is still under consideration, and I cannot undertake at present to lay the correspondence on the Table of the House.
