HC Deb 20 February 1956 vol 549 cc3-4W
47. Mr. Shinwell

asked the Prime Minister whether he will appoint a Select Committee to consider and report on the powers vested in the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force, Post Office, and Ministry of Supply, to provide for the manufacture, under their own control, of stores, clothing, footwear, vehicles, and other needs.

The Prime Minister

I have no reason to think that existing powers are not adequate; but if the right hon. Gentleman has any particular suggestion to make I will certainly see that it is considered.
