§ 51. Mr. Dayasked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence whether he will give particulars of any reports he has received of interference with the completion of urgent orders that have been placed for and on behalf of the Government, either with electrical, machine-tool, and/or aeroplane factories; and whether same has caused any delay to the Government's arms undertakings?
§ Sir T. InskipThe question asked by the hon. Member is so wide in its terms that it is difficult to frame an answer to it. If he will state more specifically what interference he has in mind I shall be ready to look into it.
§ Mr. DayCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether there have been any fires occuring in any of the establishments?
§ Sir T. InskipI am not aware of any, but if the hon. Member has any reason to believe that there have been fires, perhaps he will inform me.
