HC Deb 26 February 1936 vol 309 cc448-9
45. Mr. PARKER

asked the Prime Minister what steps the Government propose to take to implement the promise that no excessive profits will be made in the production of war material?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

I can add nothing to what I have said in reply to previous questions on this subject, to which I would refer the hon. Member.

Mr. PARKER

Does the right hon. Gentleman intend to take any special step to prevent Members of this House or of another place profiteering out of the Government's rearmament programme?

Mr. H. G. WILLIAMS

Have any of those previous questions supplied the faintest indication of any such profiteering?

Mr. GARRO-JONES

Will the right hon. Gentleman be able to place before the House some specific plan. While recognising the difficulties shall we know what the Government proposals are?

The PRIME MINISTER

Whenever the occasion should arise, of course that will be done.
