HC Deb 09 May 1950 vol 475 cc40-1W
Mr. Alport

asked the Secretary of State for War when he estimates the factory accommodation to be built on the same site as the new War Department married quarters at Colchester will be completed; whether these factories will be operated by private enterprise; and if he will give an assurance that existing local concerns will be given priority when these factories are offered for lease.

Mr. Strachey

There is no intention to build factory accommodation on the same site as the new War Department married quarters at Colchester.
