Hon. R. O. Campney (Minister of National Defence):

I have no knowledge, Mr. Speaker, of any military equipment having been shipped over the week end. I understood from my colleague, the Secretary of State for External Affairs, that the matter was being looked into by his department, which I presume would deal with any export permit required. I have no knowledge of the matter.
