HC Deb 03 March 1952 vol 497 c8W
78. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Supply the number of firms in Wales which have received contracts in connection with the re-armament programme; and whether he is taking steps to ensure that small firms in the Principality receive a fair share of such contracts.

Mr. Sandys

Some 250 firms in Wales have received direct contracts from the Ministry of Supply. In regard to the second part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Croydon, West (Mr. Thompson), on 4th February.
