§ 52. Mr. Merlyn Reesasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is aware that the Moorhouse preserves factory in the South Leeds constituency at present owned by Cadbury Schweppes is to close in 1971, thus making over 400 people redundant; and if he will take steps to attract another firm in the same or different industry to take over the concern.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantI am aware that the factory is to close but its disposal must be the responsibility of the owners.
