61. Mr. J. J. Davidsonasked the Secretary of State for Air whether any sites have been surveyed or inspected in or near Glasgow, with a view to establishing factories for the production of aircraft or component parts?
§ Sir K. WoodAs the hon. Member is probably aware, a factory has been established at Dumbarton by the Blackburn Aeroplane Company and William Denny and Brothers in conjunction. Consideration will be given to the possibility of locating in Scotland any further factories required for the production of aircraft or component parts, but no inspection of sites has yet been carried out.
Mr. DavidsonHave any representations been made to the right hon. Gentleman on this question by the Glasgow Council?
§ Sir K. WoodI could not say without notice.
