HC Deb 21 June 1954 vol 529 c3W
53. Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the Minister of Supply to what extent defence orders for the iron-founding industry in the Falkirk-Bonnybridge area are likely to decrease; and what are the specific reasons for the decrease.

Mr. Sandys

As the defence programme advances, fewer orders for iron foundry products are being placed. I cannot say what proportion of the available orders %ill go to any particular area.
