HC Deb 02 December 1925 vol 188 c2204
22. Mr. SHORT

asked the Minister of Labour whether any articles suitable for sale are being manufactured at the Ministry of Labour factory, Garrison Lane, Birmingham; and, if so, what methods does he propose to employ to dispose of the same?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

Some woodwork and ironwork are being made for use in connection with this and another training centre of the Ministry of Labour. As the men on entering are unskilled, and the course covers a wide range, they are not likely to produce any large quantity of saleable goods, and the question of the disposal of such good has not yet arisen.
