HC Deb 25 April 1901 vol 92 c1302
MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, in view of the fact that the 50,000,000 defective Mark IV. bullets were made to specification, will he state the contract price paid to the contractors.

LORD STANLEY

I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to the hon. Member's question on the 18th instant.*

MR. WEIR

But this question has never been asked before.

LORD STANLEY

I think the hon. Member will find it has been.

MR. WEIR

I shall take the earliest opportunity of calling attention to the manner in which dust is being thrown into the eyes of the public.
