HC Deb 16 June 1947 vol 438 c1572
28. Mr. Bramall

asked the Minister of Supply, whether he will take steps without delay to remove the present disquiet in Woolwich Arsenal at the failure to use the plant available there to manufacture machinery and other essentials in short supply, and the consequent waste of both plant and labour.

Mr. Wilmot

The matter has been considered by the Ministry of Supply Joint Industrial Council, and has been referred to the Central Production Committee for further consideration.

Mr. Bramall

Would my right hon. Friend bear in mind that there is considerable disturbance of mind among the employees at Woolwich Arsenal when they are called upon to "work or want" and at the same time see the resources of their workplace not being fully used?
