§ 42. Mr. J. Griffithsasked the Minister of Supply whether he will have a survey made, in South Wales and elsewhere, of the buildings formerly used as tinplate and sheet-works with a view to their adaptation for use for production and storage?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonAn investigation is at present being made into the position of the sheet and tinplate works in South Wales which are not in operation and which are not likely to be required as such during the war. The investigation also covers a number of small plants working much below capacity. When the results of the investigation are available, consideration will be given to the question of the adaptation of these works for other production or for storage. A number of such buildings have already been inspected, and steps will be taken at an early date to obtain the use of such as are suitable and required for storage.
