§ 3. Mr. David Ecclesasked the Minister of Supply to what extent the impending reductions in expenditure in his Department will affect any of his establishments in the neighbourhood of Corsham, Wiltshire.
§ Mr. G. R. StraussA policy of vigorous economy is being followed in the administration of all Ministry of Supply establishments, but it is not expected that this will lead to any immediate reduction in our establishment at Corsham.
§ Mr. EcclesIf the Minister should have occasion to reconsider that decision, will he remember that an undertaking was given by the Minister of Aircraft Production, now the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that those who were in the underground factory would be looked after?
§ Mr. StraussI will certainly look at that undertaking.
