HC Deb 16 March 1916 vol 80 c2256
71. Mr. HUDSON

asked the Minister of Munitions on what method payment is made to armament firms taken over for the period of the War as controlled establishments; and whether such firms are paid by the Government a percentage of all wages paid by such establishments?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

Armament firms are controlled establishments, but they have not been taken over by the Government. The second part of the question, therefore, does not arise.
