HC Deb 27 July 1938 vol 338 c3098
61. Mr. J. J. Davidson

asked 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. Wood

As 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. Davidson

Have any representations been made to the right hon. Gentleman on this question by the Glasgow Council?

Sir K. Wood

I could not say without notice.
