asked the Minister of Supply the numbers employed at the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield, at 31st January, 1947, and at the latest available date.
1,518 on 31st January, and 1,522 on 28th February, Sir.
asked the Minister of Supply whether sufficient work, civilian or military, will be assigned to the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield, to obviate further redundancy.
Recent discharges of employees of this factory have been due, not to a fall in the volume of work, but to the reinstatement of workers returning from the Services. Employment has, in fact, increased during the last nine months.
Can the Minister give an assurance that the present establishment will be maintained?
That is the intention.
