HC Deb 28 July 1938 vol 338 cc3345-6W
Major Milner

asked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence whether he is aware of the strong feeling against the transfer of engineering workers from one area to another; and whether he will endeavour to avoid such transfers by a greater spreadover of armament work and a greater use of existing facilities?

Sir T. Inskip

I can assure the hon. and gallant Member that contracting departments are fully alive to the importance of spreading armament work in order to avoid the necessity for workers moving from one area to another as well as for other reasons, though there are, as he will appreciate, limitations to the extent to which this can be done.
