HC Deb 01 July 1915 vol 72 c1917
65. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Secretary of State for India to what extent India is participating in the manufacture of munitions of war; whether any offers have been made by the Government of India of factories and labour for this purpose; and, if so, to what extent His Majesty's Government has been able to accept such offers?

The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Chamberlain)

I am in close consultation both with the Government of India and the Munitions Department on the subject, but I am not yet in a position to make a definite statement. I am not quite certain that it would be desirable that I should make an exact statement.
