HC Deb 13 July 1938 vol 338 c1315
47. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence whether full use is being made of Briggs' and Ford's factories at Dagenham in forwarding the rearmament programme?

The Under-Secretary of State for Air (Captain Harold Balfour)

I have been asked to reply. My right hon. Friend is informed that appreciable use is being made, either by way of sub-contracting or by direct orders under the rearmament programme, of the Briggs' and Ford's factories at Dagenham by all three Service Departments.
