HC Deb 14 April 1937 vol 322 cc1003-4
58. Mr. Ammon

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he can give the House the standard of profit laid down for the manufacture of aircraft?

Sir P. Sassoon

I would refer the hon. Member to the replies which were given by my right hon. Friend the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence on Wednesday last to the hon. Member for Wolverhampton East (Mr. Mander).

Mr. Ammon

Has the right hon. Gentleman forgotten that when the Estimates were under discussion I asked this question and he said that he would be pleased to give me the information. What has happened since then?

Sir P. Sassoon

All the information possible has been given by my right hon. Friend the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence.

Mr. Ammon

The right hon. Gentleman said that the information could not be given. What is the reason for this difference of view?

Mr. Mander

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that no information at all has been given?
