HC Deb 07 December 1944 vol 406 c769W
Mr. Kirby

asked the Minister of Supply what progress has been made in the construction and equipping of a factory for the production of penicillin at Speke, Liverpool; when it is expected that the factory will be completed; and how many workers it is expected to employ.

Mr. Peat

Building and civil engineering work is well up to schedule and plant and equipment are in process of fabrication. It is expected that the factory will be completed by the late spring of 1945 and will employ about 350 people.
