§ 83. Sir EDWIN CORNWALLasked whether arrangements have been made for the establishment of an inventions committee on the same lines as that constituted by the Admiralty; and, if not, will he say what alternative plans he is adopting or proposing?
§ Mr. TENNANTI would refer my hon. Friend to an answer given by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Munitions to a question put to him on this subject on 1156 the 8th instant by the hon. Member for West Clare, and to an answer which I gave myself on the 23rd June to the hon. Member for Merthyr Tydvil. Measures are being concerted with the Ministry with a view to co-ordinating all the work on inventions so far as they relate to supplies for the Army.
