HC Deb 17 April 1946 vol 421 c462W
103. Mr. Bartlett

asked the Minister of Supply the use which will be made of the royal ordnance factory at Bridgwater; and why it has now been decided not to manufacture formaldehyde there.

Mr. Leonard

The factory will be used mainly for the manufacture of explosives required for the Services. The production of formaldehyde for civil use has been considered, but there is at present no demand for additional supplies. In the event of a sufficiently increased demand, the plant at Bridgwater would probably be used.
