§ 52. Mr. HURDasked the Secretary of State for War what is the stock of service stop watches made in Switzerland or of other foreign manufacture which is in the hands of his Department; and when it is expected that this stock will be exhausted?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Captain Douglas King)The only stop-watches of foreign manufacture in stock are those manufactured wholly or partly in Switzerland. There are 460 of these. The stock may be expected to last for several years.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIs it not a fact that a great many of the products in the possession of the Admiralty and the War Office are of foreign production, such as rubber tyres for motor cars, and is there any possible help for this?
