HC Deb 28 October 1947 vol 443 c53W
92. Mr. Hale

asked the President of the Board of Trade for what purpose a factory at Barton was originally let to Messrs. Piatt Brothers, Limited, textile and machine manufacturers of Oldham.

Mr. Belcher

The purpose is to enable them to increase their output of textile machinery to meet the postwar demands of the home and export market.
