HC Deb 10 March 1937 vol 321 cc1146-7
47. Miss Ward

asked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence what arrangements have been made for the provision of specific essential requirements in the event of war of which there is no available supply in this country at the present time?

The Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence (Sir Thomas Inskip)

These arrangements vary in character according to the commodities concerned. They cover a wide field and are an essential part of the Defence plans.

Miss Ward

Will it be possible to let one know exactly what arrangements have been made so that one can see whether there will be any chance for Special Areas manufacture?

Sir T. Inskip

If the hon. Lady will specify the particular commodity about which she wants information, I will see whether I can supply it.
