§ 56. Mr. Lawsonasked the Minister of Supply whether he is satisfied at the rate new factories are coming into production under his Ministry and whether he has any statement to make on the matter?
§ The Minister of Supply (Sir Andrew Duncan)No, Sir, I am not satisfied, and every effort is being made to improve on the present rate. I can, however, assure the hon. Member that when account is taken of the inevitable difficulties involved, the progress made has, on the whole, been considerable. During the last six months, new capacity has been brought into operation for almost all types of munitions production and is now contributing substantially to a rising output.
