HC Deb 24 November 1919 vol 121 c1432
56. Mr. ANEURIN WILLIAMS

asked the Prime Minister whether any decision has been arrived at as to winding-up the Ministry of Munitions or as to converting it into a Ministry of Supply?

Mr. BONAR LAW

No decision as to the future of the Ministry has yet been taken, but it has much necessary work to do in the disposal of surplus stores.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the advisability of hastening a decision in this matter, as it affects a great many things?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I do not see any need for an immediate decision, because there is evidently work for this Department for a long time yet in disposing of these stores.

Mr. E. WOOD

Is there a Ministry of Supply in existence to-day, or is it the Ministry of Munitions?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is the Ministry of Munitions.
