HC Deb 26 July 1909 vol 8 c841
Mr. ARTHUR LEE

asked what is the nature and extent of the trial order for heavy gun mountings which has been given to the Coventry Ordnance Company; how many mountings are included in this order; and what is the contract date for completion?

Mr. MCKENNA

This firm has been asked to tender for two, four, and five turrets. No order has been given pending receipt of tender and review of prices, for the same reason no contract date for completion has been fixed.

Mr. ARTHUR LEE

Are these orders for gun mountings?

Mr. McKENNA

Yes; the usual gunnery.
