HC Deb 01 August 1939 vol 350 c2212W
Mr. Mainwaring

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is aware that there is a considerable and unnecessary wastage of materials taking place in the construction of the Bridgend arsenal; and whether he will take steps to see that the War Office is in no way affected financially by this misuse of materials?

Mr. Ramsbotham

I am not aware of any abnormal losses of material in connection with this work and in any event any such losses would not fall on public funds, but on the contractor.
