§ 70. Major HUNTasked the Minister of Munitions whether glycerine has been commandeered by the Government; what price per ton the Government pays British manufacturers for glycerine; and what price per ton the Government pays Americans for glycerine bought from that country?
§ Dr. ADDISONAll glycerine produced in this country is requisitioned for national purposes. A statement as to the prices paid would not be in the public interest. No glycerine is being bought from America by the Ministry of Munitions.
§ Major HUNTIs there any glycerine brought from any country besides that?
§ Dr. ADDISONI am not prepared to give any further details; we have made a very good bargain.
§ Mr. MOONEYHave the prices paid in this country and in America, as already stated in this House, been mentioned by a firm of soap manufacturers?
§ Dr. ADDISONI do not know whether it has been stated or not.
