§ 51. Mr. LYNCHasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the importance to Germany of obtaining a large supply of the crude sources of the explosives it employs, and in view of the advantage of restricting as far as possible this supply, he will have inquiries made as to the comparatively few areas where nitrates are abundant and as to the ultimate sources of toluene available; and whether the Government will, even by extensive financial operations, secure practical control of these?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI cannot say more than that the matters referred to are receiving careful consideration.
