HC Deb 05 July 1897 vol 50 c1118
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he will state whether the Government are paying any royalties on the Gardner, Hotchkiss, Nordenfeldt, and Gatling guns; and, if so, will he state how much royalty is paid on each of the respective guns and when the royalties will cease?

MR POWELL- WILLIAMS

The War office is not paying royalties on any of the guns mooed in the Question.
