HC Deb 14 April 1915 vol 71 cc9-10
32. Mr. PETO

asked the Prime Minister whether he can now give any particulars as to the method by which the extra profits, due to orders connected with the War placed by the Government with industrial and armament firms, will be shared by the workmen who work regularly and keep good time?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

I am not yet in a position to make a statement on this matter.

Mr. JAMES HOPE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the policy stated in this question was announced by the Secretary of State for War some weeks or even months ago?
