HC Deb 10 October 1945 vol 414 c260W
Dr. Little

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in the case of the closing of war factories or their removal to other centres in Northern Ireland, he will provide alternative employment through the establishment of new industries in these areas.

Mr. Ellis Smith

Yes, Sir, the attention of industrialists is being drawn to the facilities available in Northern Ireland; and arrangements have already been made to turn over those Government-owned factories, which have become surplus to requirements, to selected contractors for peacetime industry.
