Miss Wardasked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many new factories, or extensions to present factories, it is proposed to open to meet requirements arising out of the war; and how many are arranged for in the North-Eastern area?
§ Mr. ChurchillUnder the rearmament programme quite a large number of extensions to factories and new factories have been put in hand; some of these are now complete. It would not be in the public interest to reveal the location of such factories, but my hon. Friend can rest assured that every consideration will continue to be given to the North-Eastern area, having regard to all relevant factors.
