HC Deb 24 June 1915 vol 72 c1319
16. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Minister of Munitions if any increase has been made in the manufacture of munitions in Ireland in consequence of the War; and will he say where, and the extent of the increase as measured by the increase of the number of persons employed and the amount of money spent there?

Dr. ADDISON

I observe that the hon. Member has put down similar questions to the Admiralty and the War Office and I have no information on the subject apart from that in possession of those Departments.

Mr. GINNELL

May I ask whether any increase at all has been made in Ireland?

Dr. ADDISON

We have made arrangements for a committee in Belfast, but the time has been short to get the work into operation.
