HC Deb 28 June 1939 vol 349 c393
21. Mr. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether it is proposed to place any further orders in Airdrie?

Sir K. Wood

Yes, Sir. A further substantial sub-contract order has just been placed in Airdrie by one of the principal aircraft constructors.

Mr. Henderson Stewart

Will my right hon. Friend consider issuing a statement showing in some detail what part Scotland as a whole plays in meeting the armament requirements of the Ministry?

Sir K. Wood

I recently made a full statement on the matter, and I have received various deputations. I think my hon. Friend will agree that Scotland has received very favourable consideration.
