HC Deb 17 March 1920 vol 126 c2223W
Major W. MURRAY

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether, in view of the large amount of unemployment existing in Dumfriesshire and the number of ex-service men out of work there, he can now employ more persons at His Majesty's factory at Gretna?

Mr. KELLAWAY

A start has now been made at Gretna with the repair of railway wagons, but, owing to the cessation of the work on cordite production, I am unable to promise that it will be possible to employ additional labour.
