Royal Ordnance Factories (Civil Work)

HC Deb 11 March 1957 vol 566 cc125-6W

55. Mr. G. Brown

asked the Minister of Supply whether he will review his decision not to allow Royal Ordnance factories to change over to the manufacture of civil goods.

Mr. Aubrey Jones

There are serious difficulties in the way of changing the Royal Ordnance Factories over to civil work on a large scale, but some such work is being, and will continue to be, undertaken by them.
