HC Deb 07 March 1932 vol 262 cc1484-5W
Major GLYN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is in a position to state what changes, if any, will be made at the Royal Army Ordnance Factory at Didcot consequential upon the Pimlico clothing factory being closed down; what number of workers are likely to be transferred from London to Didcot; and what steps, if any, the War Office propose to take towards assisting the local authorities in providing housing accommodation?

Mr. COOPER

As already announced, the clothing depot and inspectorate at present situated at Pimlico will be located at Didcot. I am not at present in a position to make a statement either as to the number of pivotal employés who will be transferred from London or on the question of their accommodation.
