HC Deb 16 December 1936 vol 318 cc2457-8
45. Mr. JENKINS

asked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence the value of the orders placed with firms in the Special Area of South Wales and Monmouthshire in connection with the Government's re-armament scheme?

The MINISTER for the CO-ORDINATION of DEFENCE (Sir Thomas Inskip)

I regret I cannot give this information. As I have already explained on a number of occasions in this House, the value of orders placed in particular areas in connection with the rearmament programme cannot be ascertained without an incommensurate amount of labour.
