Mr. De la Bèreasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he can give a list of the nucleus factories which have been proposed to the Ministry of Food by the Council of the Soap Makers' and Fat Splitters' Federation?
§ Mr. MabaneNo, Sir. The list to which my hon. Friend refers is only a provisional one and cannot be disclosed. The choice as to the nucleus factories is dependent upon there being made available additional employees required in those factories to replace the much larger number released elsewhere. As soon as this matter has been settled the information for which my hon. Friend asks will be made available to the trade.
