HC Deb 07 February 1949 vol 461 c17W
91. Mr. Keeling

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware of the proposal to convert the General Aircraft factory at Feltham into a store for records; and whether, in view of the large number of skilled men with homes in West Middlesex who will become unemployed through the closing of the factory he will endeavour to find an engineering use for the building which will give them employment.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

This factory is privately owned and its disposal is, therefore, primarily a matter for the owner. My Department is trying to interest certain engineering firms in the premises, but so far without success.
