HC Deb 07 February 1949 vol 461 c17W
89. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Minister of Supply to what extent the strike of workers at De Havilland company's factories has held up important Government contracts placed by his Department.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

About three weeks' output of engines for Vampire and Prentice aircraft has been lost as a result of the strike. This will affect deliveries of aircraft over the next month or two.
