HC Deb 22 June 1948 vol 452 c1137
75. Commander Agnew

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has given further consideration to the application by Messrs. L. and C. Hardtmuth for permission to erect a pencil lead factory at Guithian, Hayle; and whether permission will now be granted.

Mr. Belcher

Messrs. L. and C. Hardtmuth have been notified that they can proceed with the erection of their factory at Hayle as soon as they are ready to put the work in hand.

Commander Agnew

Can the Minister say how soon this company will be ready to begin building the factory?

Mr. Belcher

I am afraid I cannot because that is a matter for the company: as far as we are concerned, as soon as they are ready to go ahead they may do so.
