§ Mr. Jannerasked the First Lord of the Admiralty to what extent nylon is used for material or equipment in the Navy; and whether a more extensive use of this material is being considered.
§ Mr. J. P. L. ThomasBecause of the export demand the supply of nylon is limited and its naval use is therefore restricted to those purposes for which it is pre-eminently suitable and for which no satisfactory substitute is available.136W Nylon could be used more extensively for a variety of naval purposes, but this must await an improvement in supply.
