§ 43. Mr. Elwyn Jonesasked the Prime Minister whether, when considering the measures proposed for the nationalisation of the steel industry, His Majesty's Government will include in the necessary legislation proposals to nationalise the manufacture of all armaments.
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir. The manufacture of armaments is not confined to undertakings comprised in the steel industry. My hon. Friend's suggestion, therefore, does not appear to me to be well conceived.
§ Mr. Elwyn JonesDoes not the Prime Minister agree that the time has now come to prohibit the private manufacture of all armaments?
§ The Prime MinisterThat is another question.
