Smithasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Aircraft Production, in view of the fact that the best method of production to obtain the maximum results in the minimum of time is the three-shift system, based upon 24 hours continuous working, what steps are being taken to organise the three-shift system, and why are there not three shifts engaged now on the most urgently required aircraft?
