HC Deb 26 June 1952 vol 502 cc209-10W
79. Mr. Burke

asked the Minister of Labour if the Parliamentary Secretary of his Department will, when paying his proposed visit to Lancashire, study the unemployment problem, inspect the Government magnesium electron factory at Lowerhouse, Burnley, with a view to considering its use to absorb some of the local unemployed.

Mr. Watkinson

No. I do not think that this visit would be profitable. As the hon. Member knows the possibility of bringing this factory into use has been thoroughly examined by the Ministers primarily responsible.
