asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that there is no Welsh representative upon the Liquor Control Board; whether he is still in favour of the principle of devolution; and whether he will consider the, appointment of a Liquor Control Board for Wales and Monmouthshire, who shall be charged with the powers and administrative functions, so far as Wales and Monmouthshire are concerned, which are now exercised by the Board of Control in London?

Members of the Central Control Board are not appointed as representatives of the several parts of the United Kingdom. The question of the appointment of a separate authority for Wales and Monmouthshire would receive consideration if any proposal were under discussion to reconstitute the Central Control Board on a basis of nationality. But there are obvious objections to any such proposal.

asked the Minister of Munitions whether charges have been brought to his attention that an engineering firm in Aberdeen engaged in the manufacture of munitions were faking 6-inch shell, and were in the possession of special marking tools for this purpose, a consignment of shells costing £4,000 being involved; whether Colonel Stansfield, of Woolwich Arsenal, was sent to Aberdeen by the Ministry; whether it was discovered that discarded shells were being-marked as if they had been passed and approved; whether these engineering works have since been taken over by the Government after a military investigation had taken place; whether he is aware of the name of the electrical engineers in Aberdeen who produced a tool for markings similar to the inspector's mark; and whether there has been or will be prosecution of any or all concerned?

I shall be glad if my hon. Friend will put down this question one day next week. I have a certain amount of information in regard to it, but I am not yet satisfied.
