TANK SUPPLIES
RAPID PRODUCTION METHODS CONTROL BY CIVILIANS. SUGGESTIONS BY MINISTER AND OTHERS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.55 a.m.) LONDON, June 11. Mr Herbert Morrison (Minister of Supply), in the House of Commons said the independent chairman and vice-chairman of the tank board have suggested that the tank department of the Ministry of Supply must be controlled by civilians now engaged in rapid commercial production methods. The army must state its needs unequivocally through a focal point. It is also suggested that this focal point in the War Office should be occupied by an officer of high rank with recent fighting experience with tanks. Mr Morrison added that he and Mr Eden had agreed to these suggestions, which should be adopted and carried out expeditiously.
