HC Deb 15 February 1944 vol 397 cc21-2
42. Mr. James Griffiths

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he can make a statement indicating what measures are proposed to ensure national control of the location of industry in the post-war period.

Mr. Dalton

I would refer My hon. Friend to the statement which I made during the Debate on this subject on 8th December last.

Mr. James Griffiths

When will the Minister be in a position further to clarify it?

Mr. Dalton

Things are going on, on the lines which I have indicated to the House. My hon. Friend was, I think, out of the country at the time, but no doubt he has read what I said in the OFFICIAL REPORT. It is all going forward.
