REPORT OF £1,000,000 ORDER

MINISTER'S "VAGUE

STATEMENT

THE London News Chronicle, in a recent, article, alleges that British contractors have placed orders with Krupps and other German firms for over £1,000,000 worth of machine tools for the manufacture of armaments.

In spite of an evasive reply in the House by Sir Thomas Inskip (Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence), who, however, admitted that "negligible orders" had been placed, it is now established that orders on a large scale are being executed in Germany at present for Britain and that further orders are in contemplation, says that newspaper.

"A Few Requirements”

Miss Ellen Wilkinson raised the question In the House of Commons.

Sir Thomas said he was advised by the Service Departments that no orders for munitions had been placed with Krupps or other German firms, but a few. requirements in the form of individual machines or other requirements for experimental purposes had; been obtained from Germany.

Precise figures were not available, he added, but the amount was negligible.

Miss Wilkinson asked if Sir Thomas
