HC Deb 04 November 1947 vol 443 c1515
27. Major Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for War how many new and unused Bren guns and Sten guns have been deliberately destroyed or turned into scrap within the last 12 months; and how many new ones were produced over the same period.

Mr. Shinwell

The answer to the first part of the Question is, none. As regards the second, it is not in accordance with present practice to disclose figures of production of warlike stores.
