§ Mr. ACLANDasked the Minister of Munitions whether he is aware that the 310W manufacture of cordite has been resumed at Gretna; what is the purpose for which this cordite is to be used, in view of the fact that so large a stock exists in the country; and what justification there is for using raw material for this unnecessary purpose?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYThe production of cordite at Gretna has never been actually stopped, although the output has now been reduced to a merely nominal quantity. It is not considered desirable entirely to stop the manufacture of cordite at Gretna.
