HC Deb 24 November 1938 vol 341 c1973W
Sir W. Smiles

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can give any indication of the approximate amount of money lost in the United Kingdom in aircraft and allied industries during the first 15 years, or between any convenient dates since 1920?

Mr. Stanley

I have been asked to reply. I regret that I am unable to furnish any estimate in the sense desired by my hon. and gallant Friend.
