§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will state the total amount of public money spent on the acquisition of the site, building, and equipment of the factory at Henbury which is now being shut down?

§ Sir W. EVANSI am not in a position to reply to the hon. Member's question at present. The actual money expended to date is not a large amount, but there are large liabilities in respect of plant and machinery ordered. It is hoped, however, that many of these can be cancelled without loss. It will take some months to ascertain the actual loss involved through the closing down of the factory.
