§ Mr. Purbrickasked the Minister of Production if he can assure the House that we are no longer manufacturing war weapons, such as tanks and aeroplanes, which are useless for employment against Japan, are otherwise no longer required and which use material urgently required for essential peace purposes.
§ Mr. LytteltonI would refer my hon. Friend to the statement which I circulated in the Official Report on Wednesday, 16th May. I then explained what steps are being taken to accelerate the adjustment of our production of weapons and munitions to the requirements of the war against Japan, bearing in mind the considerations to which my hon. friend refers.
