HC Deb 28 January 1937 vol 319 c1085W
Mr. Cary

asked the Minister of Labour whether any consultation takes place between his Department and the Defence Departments as to the availability of suitable labour in particular districts before deciding upon the location of new factories for defence purposes?

Mr. E. Brown

The Ministry of Labour has throughout supplied on request information as to the availability of suitable labour in particular districts in connection with proposals for the establishment of these factories. The arrangements in operation provide for continuous and complete co-operation between the Departments concerned when any such question arises.
