HC Deb 21 March 1917 vol 91 cc1911-2
85. Mr. FIELD

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether he can arrange that Messrs. Hild will receive sufficient material to enable them to carry on their business?

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

I regret that the present position of the supply of steel does not admit of its issue being authorised for work of the character carried on by this firm.
