LORD NUFFIELD TO BUILD FACTORY. APPLICATION FOR BIRMINGHAM SITE. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. May 31. At a meeting of the Birmingham City Council an application on behalf of Lord Nuffield, who was supported by the Air Ministry, to purchase 130 acres of land at Tyburn, Birmingham, for the purpose of establishing a factory for the manufacture of military aircraft, was considered. There was an overwhelming majority in favour of selling the land to Morris Motors, Limited, and the council undertook to support a formal resolution to that effect in due course. The decision will facilitate the urgent preparations of Lord Nuffield to implement the undertaking he has given the Air Secretary to assist in the production under the Government’s air expansion programme.
