HC Deb 14 August 1940 vol 364 c794W
Mr. A. Edwards

asked the Minister of Supply on what grounds he was led to take over the firm of E. H. Jones (Machine Tools), Limited; and what are the qualifications of Mr. Farrell and Mr. Muirsmith for carrying on such a business?

Mr. H. Morrison

The order under Regulation 55 of the Defence (General) Regulations was made in resp[...] of this company on the grounds set out in that Regulation. I am satisfied that Mr. Farrell and Mr. Muirsmith possess the technical, accounting and business qualifications necessary in a specialised business of this character.
