HC Deb 31 January 1952 vol 495 c54W
79. Mr. Edward Davies

asked the Minister of Labour to what extent the Royal Ordnance factories are short of labour; and what steps are being taken to fill the vacancies.

Sir W. Monckton

A few Royal Ordnance Factories, which are situated in areas where there is a shortage of labour, have been unable to obtain workers at the required rate of intake. Special attention is being given by my local offices to filling these vacancies and the Notification of Vacancies Order will assist them in their task.
