HC Deb 23 May 1940 vol 361 c319W
Dr. Little

asked the Minister of Supply whether he will take immediate steps to implement the promises of his predecessor regarding the establishment of a factory, or factories, for war production, the placing of additional contracts, and the providing of war work for the unemployed in Northern Ireland?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answers which were given to him on 14th February and 25th April. Since February additional orders have been placed in Northern Ireland. Although my right hon. Friend is not in a position to commit himself to any definite promises in the matter, he is prepared to review the position afresh.
