HC Deb 18 April 1944 vol 399 c47W
Sir W. Jenkins

asked the Minister without Portfolio whether any action has been taken to direct one or more Departments of State to prepare a scheme for the location of industries in South Wales so that it may become operative immediately hostilities will cease; and whether plans are prepared to utilise present Government factories now in existence for postwar peace purposes in order to have security of employment.

Sir W. Jowitt

I would refer my hon. Friend to the statement made by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade in the Debate on Location of Industry on 8th December last, to which I have nothing at present to add.
