HC Deb 27 October 1947 vol 443 c30W
113. Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware of the considerable anxiety which exists amongst the employees of Messrs. Platt Brothers, Limited, of Oldham, at the reported intention of the company to transfer to the Barton factory; and whether he will cause immediate inquiry to be made.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

I am informed by the company that the report that they intend to transfer their production from Oldham to Barton is incorrect and has already been denied by them at a meeting with representatives of the trade unions concerned.
