HC Deb 01 March 1956 vol 549 c1362
42. Mr. P. Williams

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is satisfied that the factory space on the Pallion Trading Estate is being fully used; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Walker-Smith

There are no vacant factories on the Pallion Estate, and the firms there in general provide a good volume of employment. I understand that one firm, for reasons beyond its control, may have difficulty in using its factory space fully and the Department is in touch with it. We are, of course, anxious that the estate factories should continue to make their full contribution to employment in the area.
