HC Deb 29 July 1932 vol 267 cc1804-5
54. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether an export licence was granted for the shipment abroad of a number of War-time steel helmets recently sold by the War Office; whether such helmets were, in fact, shipped abroad; and what was their destination?

Mr. COLVILLE

Steel helmets are not subject to the provisions of the Arms Export Prohibition Order, 1931, and no licence is required for their export. The answer to the second part of the question is in the affirmative, and to the third, China.
