HC Deb 15 April 1946 vol 421 cc376-7W
86. Mr. Murray

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the prospects of the Vickers-Armstrongs' works continuing at Crook; if he is aware that the local authority is disturbed at the reduced number of employees; and whether any arrangements have yet been made for the conversion of this factory from war to peacetime production.

Mr. Dugdale:

Work in the Admiralty Factory at Crook occupied by Messrs. Vickers-Armstrongs, Limited, is coming to an end and should be completed by about the end of July, 1946. The Board of Trade are being informed that this factory will not be required after July and are being asked to arrange for its re-allocation for peacetime production.
