HC Deb 05 February 1941 vol 368 c916
9. Mr. Ellis Smith

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Aircraft Production whether the instrument for testing the perdurability of fabric manufactured for parachutes is in production; on what date was it brought to the attention of the Ministry; and is it satisfactory?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Aircraft Production (Colonel Llewellin)

I have already communicated with my hon. Friend on this matter, both by letter and orally, and I regret that I am not in a position to answer his Question until he furnishes the particulars for which I have asked.
