HC Deb 16 April 1946 vol 421 cc441-2W
Mr. D. J. Williams

asked the President of the Board of Trade a list of factory sites in South Wales where building operations have commenced and on what principle is priority given to certain sites; and when he expects construction to begin on other sites.

Mr. Belcher:

Building work is being started on all approved sites as soon as the necessary preliminary work, such as the acquisition of land, preparation of plans and quantities, the letting of contracts, etc., is completed. Priority is not given to particular sites. Building work is proceeding as fast as the available labour and the supply of materials permit. Constructional work has already started on sites in the following places, the number of projects being in parenthesis: Caerphilly (2), Cardiff (6), Cwmbran (1), Dinas (1), Dowlais (1), Fforest Fach, Swansea (2), Gorseinon (1), Llantarnam (1), Llantrisant (1), Llynffi (1), Mam- hilad, Pontypool (1), Merthyr Tydfil (2), Nantybwch, Tredegar (1), Nantyglo (1), Newport (2), Pontygwaith (1), Swansea (3), Treforest (7), Treorchy (1).
