HC Deb 27 April 1948 vol 450 c35W
74. Mr. Bartlett

asked the President of the Board of Trade why he intends to issue a licence for a new formaldehyde plant in the south-west area, in view of the fact that the Royal Ordnance Factory at Bridgwater is now producing only half its potential output of formaldehyde.

Mr. Belcher

I am not aware of any decision to issue a licence for a new formaldehyde plant in the south-west area, but if the hon. Member will let me have details of the project which he has in mind I shall be glad to look into the matter.
