Within less than three years, David Lloyd George and his successors transformed the face of British industry and created the largest government department the county had ever seen. As many as 1,600,000 men and 800,000 women were employed on protected munitions work on behalf of the Ministry. Control was exercised over the iron, steel, chemical, and engineering industries. Over 15,000 firms were engaged on munitions work. A third of them were 'controlled establishments', giving precedence to government contracts and employing labor on conditions prescribed by the Ministry. More than 200 factories were either nationalized or specially built for munitions work. 000867003 61010 $$aGreat Britain.$$bMinistry of Munitions$$xHistory. 000867003 650_0 $$aIndustrial mobilization$$zGreat Britain. 000867003 830_0 $$aArchives unbound. 000867003 852__ $$bebk 000867003 85640 $$3Gale Archives Unbound$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://go.galegroup.com/gdsc/i.do?action=interpret&v=2.1&it=aboutCollections&p=GDSC&sw=w&id=5XPT&u=usi$$zOnline Access 000867003 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:867003$$pGLOBAL_SET 000867003 980__ $$aEBOOK 000867003 980__ $$aBIB 000867003 982__ $$aEbook 000867003 983__ $$aOnline
