HC Deb 16 September 1915 vol 74 cc147-8
20. Mr. GEORGE TERRELL

asked the Minister of Munitions whether any steps have yet been taken to induce skilled mechanics of British nationality to return from the United States of America; and if he can state the terms which have been offered to them?

Dr. ADDISON

No steps have been taken by His Majesty's Government to induce skilled mechanics to come to the United Kingdom from the United States of America.

Mr. TERRELL

Does the hon. Gentleman notice that the question is directed to skilled mechanics of British nationality, and if we are short of those mechanics does he not think it necessary to take steps in the matter?

Dr. ADDISON

The hon. Member will see that my answer is directed to that point.
