HC Deb 06 April 1908 vol 187 cc925-6
LORD BALCARRES (Lancashire, Chorley)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether exhaustive tests of cordite have lately been made; and, if so, what make of cordite has given the best results.

MR. HALDANE

Exhaustive tests have been made, and will continue to be made, as to the conditions of cordite in the service. All cordite is made to the same specification, and has to pass the same tests.

LORD BALCARRES

Have the results of the tests been communicated to the firms concerned?

MR. HALDANE

I must have notice of that Question.
