HC Deb 05 November 1947 vol 443 c215W
85. Mr. Sparks

asked the Minister of Supply to what extent the Royal Ordnance Factories are undertaking the repair of railway locomotives and wagons.

Mr. John Jones

Heavy repairs to general service wagons are being carried out at the Royal Arsenal as fast as supplies of timber and components allow. While the Royal Ordnance Factories are not equipped for the complete overhaul of locomotives, four of them are working on spares and components for three main line companies.
