HC Deb 20 April 1915 vol 71 c216W
Major MEYSEY-THOMPSON

asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade which trades, in the opinion of His Majesty's Government, can be rightly placed in the category of trades directly supplying war demands?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

In view of the immense variety of articles required for war purposes, nearly every important trade must be regarded as supplying war demands to a greater or a less extent.
