§ 113. Mr. Orr-Ewingasked the President of the Board of Trade why the hon. Member for Weston-super-Mare has received no reply to his letter of 10th January asking the President to see him, and, if possible, trade union representatives of the workers employed at the two Government factories near Weston-super-Mare, in order that they might be told what steps were being taken to find suitable users for those factories when the present tenancy expires in a few weeks time; and whether he is willing to arrange such a meeting as soon as possible.
§ Mr. H. WilsonI regret the delay in answering the hon. Member's letter, but he should by now have received the reply which was sent to him on 31st January in which my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary offered to see him about this matter.
