HC Deb 12 February 1963 vol 671 cc163-4W
Mr. Proudfoot

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will ensure that all advance factories built by his Department utilise structural steel and plastic-coated corrugated sheet steel.

Mr. Erroll

The design of Board of Trade factories is a matter for the Industrial Estates Management Corporations, who have a duty to ensure that the factories are suitable for their purpose and are built as quickly as possible with the most economic use of public money. In practice, I understand that structural steel will be used in all the advance factories now being built.
