§ Mr. MYERSasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether much of the munitions in the dumps in France recently sold to contractors, ostensibly to be broken up, is not being broken up but is being sent away in various directions, some of it through Germany?
Mr. HOPEI have no information bearing on the suggestion made in the question. A condition of the sale provides that the contractor shall not dispose of any of the ammunition prior to breaking down without the permission in writing of the Minister of Munitions, and no such permission has been granted.
