HC Deb 03 August 1939 vol 350 c2659W
Mr. Lunn

asked the Minister of Supply when the construction of the new gun factory near Leeds is to commence; who are the contractors and the principal subcontractors; and whether he will see to it that local unemployed labour in the West Riding is given the opportunity of employment as far as possible?

Colonel Llewellin

The contracts for the construction of the factory have not yet been let but construction will be commenced as soon as possible. The contractors will be required to notify the local Employment Exchange of any additional labour which they require for the purpose of the work.
