HC Deb 06 March 1917 vol 91 c188
39. Major HUNT

asked the Minister of Munitions how many men of military age are engaged in munition works?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of MUNITIONS (Major Sir Worthington Evans)

In view of the valuable information which these figures would give the enemy, it is not in the public interest that this information should be furnished.

Major HUNT

Could not many of those men be replaced by men over age or by women?

Sir W. EVANS

Everything is being done towards that end.
