§ Mr. A. Edwardsasked the Minister of Supply the amount of money spent by the Government in factories connected with the production of tanks under the control of the Nuffield companies; and whether the factories are yet in production?
§ Mr. BurginI am not prepared to disclose figures which might indicate the scale of output, and the hon. Member will not expect me to give such information. I can, however, inform him that both the value of the plant and machine tools paid for by the Government and the manufacturing expenses are subject to costing by the Department and that satisfactory production has been achieved.
