§ Mr. WALLACEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions what was the cost, apart from any expenditure in acquiring the site, of erecting and equipping the national factory, the sale of which by the Government has been announced; and whether any part of the profit on the sale of that factory and of the land on which it is built may be attributed to an increase in the value of the site alone?

£ Buildings 104,624 Shafting, etc 7,452 Motive power plant 5,519 Water, light, heat, drainage 8,137 £125,732 The cost of the land was £6,593.
