HC Deb 20 March 1940 vol 358 cc2012-3W
Mr. W. Joseph Stewart

asked the Minister of Supply whether it is the intention of the Government to build a factory in the county of Durham; and, if so, when and where?

Colonel Llewellin

As I informed the hon. Member for Consett (Mr. David Adams) on 13th March, certain new productive capacity is being planned in Durham County which will involve substantial additional employment. The hon. Member will not expect me to give details as to the localities. Building operations are expected to commence within the next two or three weeks.
