§ 93. Sir J. Hutchisonasked the President of the Board of Trade what plans he has for replacing work threatened to be stopped at the Royal Ordnance factory at Dalmuir.
§ Mr. ErrollI understand that the amount of defence work is declining and that there is likely also to be less work of that sort coming from other friendly countries. If there ceases to be enough defence work to maintain the Royal Ordnance factory at Dalmuir our objective would be to secure a good long-term use of it. There is good hope, if and when it is no longer needed for defence work, of finding an industrial undertaking that would provide continuity of use and increased employment and that the change could be made in a way that causes the least possible disturbance.
