§ 89. Mr. F. Willeyasked the President of the Board of Trade what arrangements are being made to ensure that, wherever possible, any additional factory accommodation required to provide extra industrial capacity to meet the needs of the defence programme shall be provided in the Development Areas.
§ Mr. H. StraussNearly all the defence programme is being carried out in existing factories or in extensions to those factories. Where new factories are required every effort is made to arrange with the contractors concerned that so far as possible they are located in Development Areas or other areas needing new sources of employment.
