HC Deb 07 March 1962 vol 655 c398
37. Mr. Swingler

asked the Secretary of State for War what action he is taking to use, or dispose of, the site of the former Royal Ordnance Factory at Swynnerton.

Mr. Profumo

One hundred and twenty-seven acres of the former Royal Ordnance Factory at Swynnerton have been sold to the British Motor Corporation, and the Staffordshire Potteries Water Board has acquired the water facilities. Most of the remainder of the site is now available for disposal. We are meeting the local authorities to establish what kind of use can be made of the land to be given up.
