HC Deb 18 November 1941 vol 376 c202W
Mr. N. Maclean

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply, the value of the loss in time the scraping of paint and repainting with the proper paint amounted to in a certain Ordnance Factory where the wrong paint was used on an important piece of ordnance, and a number of girls spent several days in scraping off the paint?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

I presume the hon. Member is referring to an incident which occurred during the initial period of training of women operators for the painting of shells. The percentage of the output concerned was negligible.
