HC Deb 27 January 1953 vol 510 c96W
75. Mr. M. MacPherson

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many branch factories in Scotland, of firms whose main production is elsewhere, closed down during 1952.

Mr. H. Strauss

Records are available only of factories established since 1937. Eight branch factories of firms operating outside Scotland closed in 1952, but it is not known whether the main production was carried on in Scotland or elsewhere.
