The inquiry sees potential benefits if pursued to a practical stage before the war ends, with a ready wartime and postwar market in mind.

Empire at War Manpower Must Be Increased
In the House of Commons Sir Ackland Geddes stated that Britain must raise and deploy more manpower for 1918 without harming vital industry or the navy. The empire has supplied 7.5 million personnel, with 4 million in the army and 100,000 in the navy, plus 100,000 from dominions. The government warned only a national catastrophe could stop central powers. raising 440,000 from civilian life was deemed minimum. Shipping remains a critical challenge, and efforts to mobilize workers, women, and soldiers would be pursued if needed. Compulsion in Ireland is not planned for now, but authorities will adopt measures if military needs cannot be met otherwise.
