Major Lloyd GeorgeIt has been decided that the Monikie factory shall not be put into production for the present. The question will be reconsidered in consultation with my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, probably towards the end of this year. In the meantime it is proposed to use the premises for much needed food storage.
