HC Deb 21 June 1948 vol 452 c922
8. Air-Commodore Harvey

asked the Minister of Works what priority has been given to buildings being erected at Filton, where the maintenance of B.O.A.C.'s aircraft is to be carried out.

The Minister of Works (Mr. Key)

W.B.A. priority for labour and materials was granted for these buildings on 5th February, 1948.

Air-Commodore Harvey

Is that the highest priority which can be given? Is the Minister aware that while his Department has been considering this matter, dollars at the rate of £500,000 a year are being spent to maintain aeroplanes in Canada?

Mr. Key

W.B.A. priority is the highest priority for materials, but there has been no difficulty about materials on this job at all.
