HC Deb 07 February 1940 vol 357 c209
51. Sir A. Knox

asked the Minister of Supply whether he will give a list of the firms who supplied the 20 items for civilian gas masks to the Government-controlled factories in which these items were assembled, and of the directors of both groups of firms?

Mr. Burgin

It would be contrary to the public interest to publish the names of the firms in question or other particulars from which they could be identified.
