HC Deb 15 February 1932 vol 261 c1285W
Mr. JOEL

asked the First Commissioner of Works what steps the Government are taking to attract the notice of foreign manufacturers wishing to establish themselves in this country to the potentialities of State buildings erected in the War and now unused, including the national projectile factory at Dudley?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

The Dudley factory is the only disused Government property which may prove suitable for the purpose of foreign manufacturers, and steps have been taken to advertise it in channels which are likely to attract their attention. As my hon. Friend is aware, I have recently granted the use of this factory for the purposes of a local industrial exhibition, and I hope that additional publicity may thus be secured.
