§ 24. Mr. Charles R. Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he is satisfied with the progress made by Laurence Scott Ltd. in completing Ministry of Defence contracts for flame-proof electric motors.
§ Mr. PattieLaurence Scott Ltd. has no contracts with the Ministry of Defence for flame-proof motors.

I understand that there has been some delay in programmes arising from industrial action.
