HC Deb 12 December 1966 vol 738 c3W
36 and 37. Mr. W. T. Williams

asked the Minister of Labour (1) what instructions he has given to officers of his Department regarding the classification of storage establishments of manufacturing establishments under the Standard Industrial Classification when the said storage establishment is in premises separate from the point of manufacture;

(2) whether he will now provide for wholesale establishments owned by a manufacturer to which he sends his goods for storage prior to sale to be classified under the same heading in the Standard Industrial Classification as the manufacturing establishment regardless of its distance from the point of manufacture.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

A warehouse of a manufacturing company, no matter how far it is situated from the point of manufacture, is classified under the same heading of the Standard Industrial Classification as the Employer's manufacturing establishment. Our local offices have been instructed accordingly.
