§ Mr. R. YOUNGasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions to what use, if any, the Government intend putting the large plant at Gretna; whether the valuable machinery is being or is to be sold; what is to be done with the splendidly equipped power stations; and whether inquiries will be made for the purpose of ascertaining how it can be utilised to develop industry in the district?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYI am not yet in a position to make a definite statement as to the future of Gretna, but I hope that as a result of inquiries now proceeding a decision will soon be reached. Arrangements are being made for utilising such of the machinery and plant as is suitable for the repair of railway wagons.
