HC Deb 09 March 1937 vol 321 cc952-3
61. Miss Ward

asked the President of the Board of Trade the specific information given by his Department to the Ministry for the Co-ordination of Defence regarding essential requirements in the event of war, for the supply of which there is no provision in this country?

The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Runciman)

Such information covers a very wide field and relates in the main to raw and semi-manufactured articles of a kind, which, for natural reasons, cannot be economically produced in this country.
