HC Deb 03 July 1919 vol 117 c1151
39. Captain STARKEY

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether he will grant facilities for smoke bombs to be used by fruit growers for experimental purposes, so that they may determine how far a smoke screen so produced is likely to ward off spring frosts from their crops; and ii he will at the same time quote a price for the bombs, which, although not producing a very saleable commodity, may yet for this purpose prove of great value and lead to a new industry?

Mr. KELLAWAY

I shall be glad to give every facility for the purchase of smoke bombs, for the purpose suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend, if I find there is any demand. Applications should be addressed to the Controller, Explosives Section, Disposal Board, Storey's Gate, S.W.
