TOP SECRET SUMMARY OF ARGUMENTS PUT FORWARD BY SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND MINISTRY OF SUPPLY AGAINST PUBLICATION AT THE PRESENT TIME 1. The volume contains information, the disclosure of which would be prejudicial to our interests so long as our industrial structure and the types of weapon we should produce in war remain fundamentally similar to 1939/45. From the history a fairly accurate assessment could be made of our industrial potential in a war breaking out within the next few years. 2. The official history sets forth collated information enabling an accurate assessment to be made of the peak war capacity of British industry and of the time taken to build up to that peak.
