§ 1. General Sir George Jeffreysasked the Secretary of State for War whether he 2 is satisfied with the rate of production of guns on self-propelled mountings?
§ The Secretary of State for War (Sir James Grigg)I feel confident that sufficient self-propelled guns are being produced to meet our needs.
§ Sir G. JeffreysCan my right hon. Friend say to what extent these guns have been used in action and whether they have proved entirely satisfactory?
§ Sir J. GriggI should be grateful to my hon. and gallant Friend if he would put down that question. It is rather a large question., and would need a considerable amount of research to be answered in detail.
§ Mr. HammersleyDoes the right hon. Gentleman's reply refer to all self-propelled guns produced on behalf of the United Nations or only to British manufactured guns?
§ Sir J. GriggThe answer means exactly what I said, which was that I am confident that sufficient self-propelled guns are being produced to meet our needs. The production programmes for the two countries have, as the hon. Member knows, achieved a considerable degree of integration.
