SUCCESS ANNOUNCED
CONCENTRATION' OF INDUSTRY LONDON, July 16. Satisfactory results from the concentration of industry were mentioned by the President of the Board of Trade, Sir Andrew Duncan, in reply to a question in the House of Commons. He said one result of the invitation last March to conclude an agreement for concentration was that nearly 100,000 workers had been released, or were being made available for release, under arrangements in hand in the industries concerned.
About 85,000,000 square feet of factory space had been placed at the disposal of the Controller-General of Factory and Storage Premises. The period allowed for the submission of voluntary schemes had now come to an end.
In a number of lesser industries the result aimed at had been substantially achieved and gratifying progress had been made in large sections of the more important industries affected by the limitation of supplies for the rationing of raw materials. The Board of Trade, in conjunction with interested Departments, was not hastening the completion of these measures by themselves but vas nominating nucleus firms.
