HC Deb 15 July 1915 vol 73 cc983-4
29. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the Minister of Munitions whether he can now bring up to date the figures showing the monthly increase in the ratio of production of Artillery munitions from September to March?

Dr. ADDISON

My right hon. Friend does not think it is in the public interest that these figures should be given at present.

Mr. PRINGLE

Can the hon. Gentleman say why it was in the public interest to give the figures on 21st April and it is not now?

Dr. ADDISON

I am not aware they were stated on 21st April.

Mr. PRINGLE

They were.
