In our case, the PM has implored British manufacturers to raise their hands to help. Over 1,000 did raise their hands and apparently no orders have even been made.

1) the government cannot force private businesses in such a way. 2) many businesses are not set up to re-do their machinery and production. 3) manufacturers rely on other other manufacturers, producers and importers as well. in other words, you cant snap your finger at them
