Secondly, the extent to which British dive bombers can replace artillery in harassing the enemy infantry.

FIRE PUMPS DEFENCE

The Ministry of Home Security, referring to a statement issued by the National Federation of Iron- mongers on the supply of stirrup hand pumps for fire fighting our- poses, says that every pump which the Department has been able to cbtain has been issued to local services or sold to local authorities for official uses.

Answering allegations made by the Federation, the Department says un attempt has been made tr accumulate a stock in advance of the announcement of. public sales through local authorities. Pumps | required for this sales scheme, it is stated. have only begun to be manufactured. ..... ..

Large Orders

It is true that the cost of stir- rup-pumps has increased sub- stantially in recent months, but that has been due to the war- situation generally; and it is not attributable to any Governinem policy in relation to stirrup-punipy themselves. W

"The: total". numbor of pumps, available, in fact, will be largely increased as a result of Gavern- 'ment action, because the Govern- ment, by means of large orders, induced a number of manufac- turers to produce pumps who would not otherwise have done ro. The fact that the pumps are being produced-to: Government order has made it possible for za In- creased supply of raw materials to be released.

The fact that, a number of pumps of unsatisfactory: work- manship were finding their way on to the market was, in itself, -a good reason for controlling pro- duction by means of Government contracts.
