HC Deb 13 March 1946 vol 420 cc233-4W
135. Mr. Kirby

asked the Minister of Supply and of Aircraft Production whether he will make a statement in re- gard to progress, number employed and output, at the new penicillin factory, Speke, Liverpool.

Mr. Leonard

Production at this factory is at present in its initial stages and the number of people employed is 311. Output is rising steadily at a rate which is expected soon to increase when initial difficulties have been overcome and the staff is fully trained.
