HC Deb 27 February 1917 vol 90 c1851
57. Mr. FIELD

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether he has received a petition from Kingstown, county Dublin, asking that a Munitions Factory may be started there, in view of the facilities of employment and situation; and whether he is prepared to take any action in the matter?

Sir W. EVANS

Yes, Sir; the petition has been received, but my right hon. Friend regrets that he is not able to establish a Munitions Factory in Kingstown.
