106. Mr. Piratin

asked the Minister of Supply what mining machinery, and in what quantities, is being produced in royal ordnance factories; and whether he will consult with the Minister of Fuel and Power to ensure the fullest use of royal ordnance factories for this purpose.

Mr. Wilmot

The royal ordnance factories have orders for over 20,000 components, a large proportion of which has already been produced. I have been in constant touch with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Fuel and Power to ensure that full advantage should be taken of suitable capacity in the royal ordnance factories.
