§ 88. Sir P. Hannonasked the Minister of Supply what is the price paid by the Russian Government for nuts and bolts supplied under the recent Anglo-Russian Trade Agreement; and what price would be realised from the sale of similar bolts and nuts to the Argentine railways.
§ Mr. J. JonesThe cost of the nuts and bolts was included in the total price to be paid by the Russian Government for rails and accessories and no separate figure was quoted. There is no control over the prices charged for nuts and bolts which are exported and I have no information about the prices charged to the Argentine railways.
§ 89. Sir P. Hannonasked the Minister of Supply if he is satisfied that no delay in the delivery of nuts and bolts to the Russian Government can in any respect be attributed to the manufacturers in Great Britain in whose hands the order had been placed.
§ Mr. J. JonesYes.
