HC Deb 12 November 1945 vol 415 cc1859-60W
Mr. Austin

asked the President of the Board of Trade when it is intended that Platt Brothers shall begin production at Ford's Eccles factory; and whether he can now give details of the production envisaged at the other Barton factories, in view of the anxiety that is felt by employees in regard to the increasing redundancy of labour experienced.

Sir S. Cripps

Platt Brothers will begin production immediately the necessary conversion has been made. It is hoped that the Eccles factory will be vacated by Ford's early next year.
