HC Deb 22 September 1943 vol 392 c226W
Mr. Lawson

asked the Minister of Production the number of war factories opened in the London industrial area, including Greater London, since 1940; and the total number of workers employed in such factories?

Mr. Lyttelton

I regret that the figures of the numbers of workers employed in such factories are not readily available; nor, in any case, do I think that it would be in the national interest to disclose either the number of workers employed, or the number of factories opened in the London industrial area since 1940 for which the hon. Member asks.
