Mr. J. P. L. Thomasasked the President of the Board of Trade why the Bosbury Road factory, near Ledbury, Herefordshire, has remained empty for many months; and whether he is prepared to consult local opinion about its future use.
§ Sir S. CrippsThis factory was allocated to Messrs. F. C. Swift & Co., on 12th instant. It was not possible to allocate this factory earlier since it was expected that it would be required for other purposes of great national importance which can, however, now be got by other means.
