§ Mr. Dunnasked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence whether he proposes to make any statement, or issue a White Paper, at an early date, indicating where Government factories have been built, naming the particular manufacturing purposes and stating where Government contracts have been placed; and has he had due regard to the depressed areas and areas entirely dependent upon one industry?
§ Sir T. InskipA considerable amount of information on this matter is contained in the White Paper (Cmd. 5386) issued as recently as March of this year and it has been supplemented from time to time in answers to questions. The hon. Member is no doubt aware that a discussion in this House on Defence matters is due to take place to-morrow when a further opportunity of making a statement will arise. Due regard has been had to Special and Depressed Areas.
