HC Deb 27 May 1936 vol 312 cc2027-8W
Sir R. GLYN

asked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence how many Workers in industry it I calculated are required to maintain each soldier, airman or sailor supplied with munitions, store, etc., in time of war; and how does this figure compare with a similar calculation made in 1918?

Sir T. INSKIP
