§ Mr. Tom McMillanasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will seek powers to enable him to give private industry six months' notice that they should take up industrial development certificates for untenanted advance factories, failing which the Government, with trade union co-operation, will tenant them.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuThe rate of allocation of advance factories has improved in recent months and I do not consider that we require any additional powers for this purpose.
