§ Mr. DAYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how many adding machines are used at the Treasury; and how many of these were manufactured in the British Empire?
Mr. SAMUELExcluding machines obtained temporarily for purposes of demonstration and test, there are four adding machines employed in the Treasury for ordinary day to day work. None of these particular machines was manufactured in the British Empire. I am not aware of any type of adding machine which is wholly manufactured in the British Empire.
