§ Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Secretary of State for War for what purpose the Delavox Works at Banbury, which have only recently been released for the manufacture of goods, largely for export, are required by his Department.
§ Mr. Lawson:The Delavox Works premises are owned by the War Department. They were lent to the Ministry of Supply and Aircraft Production in September, 1945, in order to help the British Motor Boat Company, which was under notice to quit other premises held under private agreements, and which was engaged on a Ministry of Supply contract. This contract has now been completed and the premises have reverted to War Department control. Their future use is now being considered.
