HC Deb 08 February 1971 vol 811 c15W
89. Mr. Fred Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in view of the need to retain in Wales a pool of skilled engineering labour, he will take steps to induce a machine tool production unit to take over the factory of Cardiff Machine Tools Limited when the proposed closure of that factory Occurs.

Sir J. Eden

The disposal of the factory is a matter for the owner, but the Department will do its best to interest suitable firms in it.
