In the House of Lords, Earl Curzon,
replying to criticisms regarding the
multiplication of Government office
buildings and officials, pleaded the immensity of war needs. Ho quoted as an
example the Ministry of Munitions. At
tho beginning of the war £1,000,000
was spent on Army munitions, whereas
during the present financial year
£500,000,000had been spent.
The number of controlled establishments under tho Ministry of Munitions
