HC Deb 19 December 1941 vol 376 cc2262-3W
Mr. Ridley

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply whether Government work undertaken in railway workshops is carried out under normal contract conditions or what otherwise are the terms of any arrangements or agreements?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

A large part of the Government work (other than normal railway work) which is being done in railway workshops will be subject to terms and conditions now under negotiation between the railway companies and the Admiralty, the Ministry of Supply and the Ministry of Aircraft Production. Some work is, however, being done under fixed price contracts and is subject to normal contract conditions.
