§ 60. Mr. ANDERSONasked the Minister of Munitions whether charges have been brought to his attention that an engineering firm in Aberdeen engaged in the manufacture of munitions were faking 6-inch shell, and were in the possession of special marking tools for this purpose, a consignment of shells costing £4,000 being involved; whether Colonel Stansfield, of Woolwich Arsenal, was sent to Aberdeen by the Ministry; whether it was discovered that discarded shells were being-marked as if they had been passed and approved; whether these engineering works have since been taken over by the Government after a military investigation had taken place; whether he is aware of the name of the electrical engineers in Aberdeen who produced a tool for markings similar to the inspector's mark; and whether there has been or will be prosecution of any or all concerned?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYI shall be glad if my hon. Friend will put down this question one day next week. I have a certain amount of information in regard to it, but I am not yet satisfied.
