HC Deb 07 August 1947 vol 441 c181W
63. Mr. Wilkes

asked the President of the Board of Trade what stage has been reached in the allocation of a factory to Northern Coachbuilders, Limited, which allocation has now been under consideration for over 12 months.

Sir S. Cripps

This is not a case of allocating an existing factory, but of building a new one, and the specialised nature of the building, which discussion with the company showed to be required, delayed completion of the plans which have now been approved, subject to the possibility of some economy in the quantity of steel to be used.
