§ Lieut.-Colonel WHITEasked the Secretary of State for War whether records are available showing the productive capacity of the industrial establishments of the country at the time of the Armistice for each class of war material and equipment; whether such records have been kept up to date; and whether any provision has been made for their being periodically revised in the future?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONAs regards the first and second parts of the question, I can add nothing to the reply given on 21st June by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions. As regards the third part, the records will in due course be handed over to the War Office, and when this has been done full consideration will be given to the possibility of their periodical revision in the future.
