HC Deb 28 April 1915 vol 71 cc714-5
47. Lord C. BERESFORD

asked the Prime Minister whether, on every fuse manufactured in this country, a royalty of is is paid by the Government under a German patent for the benefit of Krupp, of Essen; if so, whether this money is paid to the Public Trustee by the British armament firms for the account of Krupp; and whether he can state the amount of money due to Krupp after the expenditure of ammunition at Neuve Chapelle alone?

Mr. TENNANT

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this. I am making inquiries. Perhaps the Noble Lord would repeat his question.

Sir A. MARKHAM

Will the right hon. Gentleman make inquiries into the royalties paid to German firms for submarines?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise during this question.
