HC Deb 02 November 1908 vol 195 cc749-50
MR. BOWLES

To ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether his attention has been called to the recent purchase by the United States Government of the patent rights in that country of Dr. Churchward's steel and armour-plate making process; whether any inquiries have been made by the Admiralty into the merits of this process; and, if so, with what result.

(Answered by Mr. McKENNA.) The Answer to both parts of the Question is in the negative. I shall be glad to have all such information on the subject as the hon. Member can afford me.
