Mr. King asked the First, Lord of the Admiralty who-, ther be was aware of the allega tions established in the recent armaments trial in Tokyo, showing that bribery to secure contracte was resorted to by agents of the armaments firm; whether inquiry would be made into the position of the Vickers Company in this matter; and whether, if bribery was found to have been practised, the firm in question would be atruck off the Admiralty liet of naval contractors.
Mr. Churchill said he had no knowledge of the accuracy or otherwise of the statements in question, and he did not propose to make the inquiry auggested, as -ho had no reason to assume that British usval interests were in any way affected.
Mr. King: Is the right hon. gentleman aware that Menare, Lipton have been struck off the Contract list of the War Office for agtion quite similar if not identical to that which has been brought home to certain armament firms in Japan?
