HC Deb 24 November 1952 vol 508 c7W
72. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Supply if he has studied the remarks of the Estimates Committee on Woolwich Arsenal as being wasteful and obsolescent; what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government regarding this establishment; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sandys

Yes, the remarks and recommendations of the Estimates Committee are being most carefully considered. This is a complex problem of long standing to which there is no simple solution.
