HC Deb 11 November 1936 vol 317 c870
49. Mr. POTTS

asked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence the reasons why the Government have placed any aero-engine orders with redundant factories within the United Kingdom?

Sir T. INSKIP

I am not quite sure what the hon. Member has in mind, but I do not think I can usefully add to the information given in the White Paper (Cmd. 5295), in which the policy of the Government as regards aero-engines was fully explained.

Mr. POTTS

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether any orders have been placed with any redundant factories at all in this country?

Sir T. INSKIP

Orders for aeroengines have been placed in this country.
