§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Minister of State for Defence if, in view of the rising volume of unemployment for engineering workers and others in the Manchester and district employment area, he will take steps to increase the workload and work force at the Royal Ordnance Factory, Patricroft; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Ian GilmourNo significant change of the work-load at this factory is expected in the near future. I have written separately to the hon. Member on this subject.
