Lord Winstanleyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will make a statement regarding their intentions for the future of each of the Royal Ordance Factories.
§ The Minister of State for Defence Procurement (Viscount Trenchard)My right honourable friend the700WA Secretary of State for Defence set out our policy on the future of the Royal Ordnance Factories in a Written Answer in another place on 20th May (Hansard, Vol. 24, col. 151). It will be some time yet before the new policy is implemented. Individual factories are and will be most affected by the level of demand at home and abroad for their products.
