§ 97. Sir C. Edwardsasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that R. & A. Main has failed to secure authorisation for materials to enable them to complete the factory AB/24 & 39 Pengam, Monmouthshire, and the Grenfell Silicosis factory at Aberbargoed, Monmouthshire, and as these factories are badly needed in these areas will he take steps to enable the work to be completed.
§ Mr. J. JonesThis firm is responsible only for the supply of cooking equipment for these and similar factories in South Wales. Sufficient materials will be authorised to enable them to provide the equipment by the time it is needed.
§ Sir C. Edwardsasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that R. and A. Main, Gothic Works, Edmonton, have not yet received full authorisation for the materials required to supply kitchen equipment for the New Silicosis and other factories in South Wales; that though instructed to supply equipment for forty-four sites in South Wales, the firm has so far been able to do so in the case of eight, only; that the further allocation made represents only 17 per cent. of requirements for 1948; and 238W whether he will now allocate sufficient material to complete these factories.
§ Mr. J. JonesI would refer my right hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to him today to another Question on this subject.
