HC Deb 01 February 1938 vol 331 c62W
Mr. Donner

asked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence whether, in view of the gravity of the situation both in Europe and in the Far East, any measures will be taken to accelerate the expansion of the defence forces; and/or whether increased provision will be made to develop the production of munitions and supplies?

Sir T. Inskip

The policy of the Government has been, and continues to be, to expand our forces and develop the production of munitions and supplies at the maximum speed attainable in the conditions. They keep constantly in mind such factors in the situation as those referred to by my hon. Friend.
