HC Deb 03 November 1937 vol 328 c958W
Mr. Lyons

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what sums have been paid for shadow aircraft and engine manufacture to date and to which undertakings, respectively; and what financial arrangements have been made for the immediate future with these undertakings?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

It is not in the public interest to make public the expenditure on shadow factories. As regards the last part of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given by the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence to the hon. Member for North Aberdeen (Mr. Garro Jones) on 17th February last.
