HC Deb 29 October 1953 vol 518 c412W
Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the Minister of Supply the total amount of Government orders to the electronics industry in the 12 months ended on the latest convenient date; and what part of this has been placed with the Scottish electronics industry.

Mr. Sandys

My Department placed orders for electronics equipment to the value of £50 million in the financial year 1952–53. As I informed the hon. Member on 19th June, the form in which our records are kept does not divide by geographical locations the amount of work carried out annually.
